This represents an FYI for any staff who are involved with ordering and/or unit budgets. The Collection Development Department made a presentation of the FY15 materials budget on 7/24/14, at the NL managers meeting.
Just to recap, there are two parts to the budget process. This year we will be focusing on standing order adds and drops. Each unit will need to meet the budget target (indicated in the yellow box). Most units will need to drop some standing orders in order to meet this target. This represents an excellent opportunity to drop series (like Harlequin romances) that do not circulate at your location.
The second part of the budget process involves filling out the projected spending for each unit. Please do so in order to help you plan for future expenditures.
Both spreadsheets can be found on the G drive, in the folder titled "BranchWork Coll Dev." The deadline for filling out budget worksheets is August 15, 2014. The deadline for completing the standing order adds and drops worksheet is August 29, 2014. Here are the instructions.
