Collections and Journals Review 2009

The Libraries needs your help in preparing for FY 2009/2010 cuts to the collections budget in the range of $1 million – approximately 10% of the 2008/2009 allocation.    Projected budget reductions from the university, combined with expected inflation for journals and databases of $425,000 (at a 7% annual inflation rate), necessitate preparations for steep reductions to the collection.  Reductions at this level will require a review of current collecting, including a comprehensive review of all journal and database subscriptions, to prepare for cancellations of up to 1,000 journal titles for fall 2009. 

Your participation – by communicating with your colleagues, assessing potential approaches to these cuts, and reviewing proposed cancellations – is critical in making the best possible decisions during this difficult period.  The collection is at the center of what we do and is essential to research and teaching.  We appreciate your guidance in managing this crisis.
