<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As always, please take a few minutes to check your library's information for accuracy. We have fixed a number of things, but please take a close look at your data for: other operating expenditures, circulation, programming, e-items, and reference.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Note that there are new tabs on the bottom for the break-out of circulation, as well as details of downloadable or e-item ownership. Please check that your library’s circulation includes Library2Go usage of your patrons. If you are with a federation or cooperative that purchased downloadable items from Overdrive in excess of the statewide contract, please check the e-items tab’s local/cooperative holdings columns for all you<span style="color:#1F497D">r</span> libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Note that Freegal should be counted as a database and downloads are not circulation, and tutor.com is not counted as it’s a service. Freading should be counted as a database.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>

<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Do not count meetings of advisory groups under programs. Also, passive programs where people sign up, turn in a reading log and get a certificate do not fit the definition of programs and should not be counted. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>
