These decreases are partly due to the titles we
purchasd this year having a higher average price than those purchased the previous
year and partly due to the bibliographers spending less of their special funds than usual. There was a 117% increase in gifts received this year from 287 in 2002/2003 to 623 in 2003/2004.
