For the most part the counts presented in 22.2E are new, namely a separate report on the amount of the library's budget supported by primary teaching hospitals, the value of a library's endowments and the revenue derived from those endowments. Again, as in the 21st edition, normalization is no longer performed for all personnel. Another significant change in personnel data for the 22nd general survey is that staff are no longer categorized by their primary function. New counts are presented for a library's service hours and for its reference hours, both per week. New detail is presented for external and internal circulation, including the circulation of AV and non-print materials.
ILL counts are unchanged.
This table is new and reports the number of library supported computers available inside the library's door as well as those available outside the library proper but managed by library staff. A new count reports the number of network ports accessible inside the library. Not all columns in the salary tables have data from all 121 respondents. Salary tables include osteopathic medical school libraries unless otherwise indicated. Acknowledgment Much of the text, figures and analysis for the 22nd edition copies the work of the previous editions and editors.
