  1. Statistics, Staffing, and the Question of Balance: An Annual Report LTS All-Staff Meeting January 14, 2016

  2. Significant Numbers and Trends, 2005/06 – 2014/15 • Acquisition and cataloging of new titles in physical formats has declined by 30% • Print serials received have declined by 51% • Commercial binding operations (CBO) down 48% • Book marking and plating is down 19% • Stiffening decreased by 96% • Item-in-hand withdrawals down 69%

  3. Significant Numbers and Trends, 2005/06 – 2014/15 (contd.) • Total number of e-journals in CUL collections up 201% • E-books and other e-titles up 234% • New operational activities since 2005/06: • Data curation (199 projects & consultations since 2011) • Image cataloging (15,761 items cataloged since 2009) • Web archiving (36,696,960 documents since 2012) • Linked data planning & research (significant # of hours)

  4. New Physical Items Cataloged (2006-2015)

  5. Print Serial Titles Received (2006 – 2015)

  6. E-Journal Titles Total (2006 – 2015)

  7. Physical Items / E-Journals (2006 – 2015)

  8. Staffing, 2005/06 – 2014/15 • Number of staff devoted to current LTS responsibilities in 2005 = 97 • Number of staff in LTS today = 68 • Net decline in staff over last ten years = 30% (exactly the same as the net decline in processing of new titles in physical formats!)

  9. Current LTS Staff Allocations, By Function MARC Cataloging = 20.8% PCS = 5.4% Print Acquisitions = 19.3% DBQ = 4.4% Print Serials = 11.0% Unit Library Work = 1.9% Administration = 10.4% Coll Development = 1.8% E-Resources = 9.6% 2CUL TSI = 1.0% Batch Processing = 6.9% Documentation = 0.7% Metadata Services = 6.4% User Experience = 0.3% Network Admin = 0.2%

  10. Current LTS Staff Allocations, By Production Format or Other Activity • Physical Formats = 60.9% • Automation, Digital and E-Formats = 22.9% • Other = 16.3%

  11. Conclusions • Decrease in staff matches decrease in new title acquisitions & cataloging in physical formats • But this decrease is not happening as fast as we predicted and may, in fact, be leveling off • At the same time, we are: • Managing growing collections of licensed e-resources • Maintaining a tech services automation unit • Maintaining image cataloging & web archiving programs • Helping to lead CUL’s data curation program

  12. Conclusions (contd.) • We can do this because of: • Increased automation & outsourcing • New acquisitions tools (e.g. ITSO, POOF!) • Continued use of broad range of cataloging methods to prevent backlog growth • Innovative processing workflows (e-nerfs, in situ cataloging) • Much the same as conclusions from last year, which underscores the importance of balance!

  13. Addendum: Other Topics • 2CUL vs. 2CUL TSI • Kuali OLE • Rush! (Just In Case vs. Just in Time)
