Interestingly enough, most of these are also CONSER members--continuing evidence of the link between series and serials work.

We've been looking at PCC statistics for new series authorities and I 
thought I'd share my findings with everyone, so that we have a better 
understanding of what the PCC would be making up for now that LC has ceased creating series authorities.  I've looked at statistics for fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and 7 months of stats available for FY2006.

FY 2005 (Oct. 1, 2004-Sept. 30, 2005)

Total New Series Authorities Created: 18,945
=
Total LC New Series: 9,056  (48% of total)
+
Total PCC New Series: 9,889 (52% of total)
     DLC Coop Cat Team:   15 (0% of total; 0.2% of PCC)
     Other PCC:        9,874 (52% of total; 99.8% of PCC)

Total number of PCC libraries that created new series authorities in FY05: 102

Largest creators of new series authorities among PCC libraries in FY05:

Arizona State U (AzTeS)  1347
Indiana U (InU)           815
U of Chicago (ICU)        485
Brigham Young (UPB)       470
Yale (CtY)                393
Cornell (NIC)             344
U of Florida (FU)         316
Harvard (MH)              314
Princeton (NjP)           269
Northwestern (IEN)        262
Vanderbilt (TNJ)          241
