Note:
The books count was calculated by combining the title count from relevant PD, PF, PN821-840, PN2640-2658 and PT Library of Congress Classification areas. The figures are based on the 1997 North American Title Count, University of Hawaii at Manoa Library and on shelf-inch measurements. The periodicals count was calculated for these call areas by using a digital file of UHM periodicals.
