You may recall that there was a large boost to the library's budget to enhance both our capacity in terms of research as well as in terms of building our collection and sustaining the collection. As I suspect, you can understand that with a large increase it takes some time to ramp up. In order to go through the hiring process, in order to make sure we get the right people for the right positions, the money was granted—the large budget increase that you mentioned—and it simply has taken us that time to do the hiring, to put in place the bodies and the skills that are needed to support you.
The lapse, if you wish, was because of the time it took to essentially act on the budget increase, and we knew that we were continuing to build capacity into the next year in order to support you and committees and associations.
