I need some help.  I am experiencing drastic
 cuts in my serials budget for fiscal 1999 and 2000.  I would like
 information from the group on how cuts were handled and formulas used
 to determine who got to spend what percentage of the serial budget by
 department or library.   Also it would be helpful to know how
 cancellations were determined.

 This information would be most helpful in that this is the first
 significant and impacting budget cut I have had to deal with.
