Circulation by Academic Year
This chart shows year-over-year trends in physical item circulation, with AY 2021 (July 2020 - June 2021) being the most heavily affected by COVID. Campuses have generally returned to about 50% of their pre-COVID physical item circulation numbers. Contributing factors could be that the number of students taking online classes remains high, and students have become more comfortable using electronic sources. Additionally, a greater percentage of the collections budget is now being spent on electronic materials to meet student and faculty demand for online items.
