3. Overview The FY 2013/2014 budget reflects a continuing enrollment increase addition of $200,000. This is a net increase of $200,000 from last year’s base funding of $9,821,793. In FY 2012/2013 the collections budget received substantial one-time additions throughout the year, so a side-by-side comparison of this and last year’s allocations shows a much larger difference than what is reflected in the continuing base budget. The Libraries proposes to handle this year’s decrease of one-time funds by reducing firm order allocations and utilizing endowments, leveraging previously purchased e-book packages and demand-driven strategies to supplement acquisitions. The Libraries’ book approval plans will not be reduced, insuring that all core monographic materials will be acquired. The reduced firm allocations and endowments will focus on the textbook program, requested items, demand-driven programs, and materials to support the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program hires and largest Ph.D. programs. Despite the reduced spending power of the budget, the Libraries proposes to allocate a sum of $25,000 for additional journal subscriptions. These funds will focus on supporting new and expanding disciplinary programs across the university, with a particular focus on the cluster disciplines articulated in the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program. The Libraries will continue with intensive data analysis and community input efforts to ensure we provide maximum value in support of teaching and research. Moving forward, sustained increases to the continuing base collections budget will be critical to manage inflationary cost increases (8% for journals and databases, and 5% for books) while sustaining resources to support growing research programs and faculty hiring.
