dc.description.abstract	Libraries in the sample spent a mean of $1,113,292 on content licensed in electronic and combined electronic/print format in 2011 . Spending on this content will increase by approximately 2.6% in 2012, to a mean of $1,142,289, with some libraries spending as much as $1 4,600,000. In 2011, libraries in the sample maintained a mean of 185.04 independent licenses for electronic content. Libraries in the United States maintained a mean of 220 such licenses, while libraries in other developed countries maintained a mean of 158.23 licenses and those in developing countries maintained a mean of just 17. Libraries in the sample will maintain a mean of 23.52 more independent licenses for electronic content in 2012 than in 2011, with those in the United States increasing these holdings by about 15%, to a mean of 252.71. Public libraries will maintain a mean of 531.82 independent licenses for electronic content in 2012, whereas college libraries will maintain a mean of 133.24 and corporate and law firm libraries will maintain fewer than 28. On average, libraries that spent $100,000 to 500,000 on electronic content in 2011 maintained more independent licenses for electronic content than libraries that spent over $500,000 on this content, though the difference may be accounted for by a single library which maintained a mean of 4,500 independent licenses for electronic content in 2011 and will maintain 5,500 such licenses in 2012. In 2012, libraries that spent less than $100,000 on electronic content the previous year will maintain a mean of 10.47 independent licenses, while those that spent $100,000 to $500,000 will maintain a mean of 384.25 licenses and libraries that spent more than $500,000 will maintain a mean of 262.29....	en_US
