* The usage measurement of e-resources licensed by SLUB follows the international standard COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources), which is used by librarians, publishers and other content providers to compile usage statistics for electronic resources in a standardised way. In recent years, version COUNTER 4 has been used. However, this did not provide valid comparability of usage figures between providers, as some providers offered download of the entire book, other providers offered download of all chapters, or both options. For this reason, the conversion to COUNTER 5 was made. The individual chapters are no longer counted, but the calls to the entire e-book as 1 use.
**In the programme work "Safeguarding the audiovisual heritage in Saxony", the focus in 2021 was on historical film recordings - including 35mm amateur films from the 1920s. Compared to the mass digitisation projects in previous years with primarily sound and video materials, the digitisation of the film media type is associated with significantly higher costs and processing efforts, which in purely quantitative terms result in fewer digitised minutes.
