If I m...My last comment vanished, let me try again. <BR/><BR/>If I may, please allow me to clarify one point: <BR/><BR/>The library's acquisitions/periodicals budget is not getting cut by $125,000. <BR/><BR/>That is the amount that we are projected to be overbudget in 07/08 due to the 12%-14% annual increase in the cost of our journal subscriptions, and the 3%-10% annual increase in the cost of databases and other resources. <BR/><BR/>The library's budget for materials has remained flat, or seen small cuts, but the cost of information resources rises at a rate beyond normal inflation levels. <BR/><BR/>If you have $500,000 in journal subscriptions this year, you can expect them to cost $550,000 to $570,000 next year, while the budget remains the same. <BR/><BR/>Quite the dilemma!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581728675607760362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-73795686648741386512007-03-06T00:34:00.000-06:002007-03-06T00:34:00.000-06:00I would just like to mention that Ronald K.
