Clicking on the section names will also bring up graphs of each section's data.This information was tracked beginning in 2000 when the new scanner tracking process was put in place. The figures denote the numbers of times over the course of the year items in the open and closed stacks were scanned by Periodicals personnel. This scanning reflects items that were either placed back on their respective shelf or it was evident that materials on a shelf were handled.
