Budget and fund structure realignment
Venetis, Mary J 10 Apr 2008 15:30 UTC
Apologies for any cross-duplicated postings.
We are currently examining our budget structure at the University of
Texas at Dallas Libraries. We use Ex Libris' Voyager as our ILS system.
We are considering re-doing our fund structure in order to re-align our
budget structure.
Before we attempt to re-do our funding structure, I am interested in
finding out how other academic libraries have set up their fund and/or
budget structures in order to meet the ACRL statistical requirements.
For example, how do you count the number of electronic resources,
including aggregator databases? Do you divide the cost by school,
discipline, or other means?
Does your library count titles and/or volumes manually or automatically?
If it is done automatically, could you share your Voyager SQL code with
us?
Please reply off-list by responding to my email address, and I will be
sure to summarize the results for the listserv if others are interested.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
