This text covers topics such as how collection budgets are planned, built and defended, and implemented, in straightforward language. Each topic is illustrated with sample budgets and allocations typical of academic and public libraries serving their respective communities. It includes step-by-step guidance for working with administrators and boards to meet patron needs while addressing today's financial realities. The author covers aspects of modern materials-budgeting, including the budget implications of electronic-access alternatives to purchasing materials. Chapters describe collection-finance relationships, gathering information for library materials budget requests, preparing the request, traditional and non-traditional budget processes, access versus ownership, background and procedures for setting up the budget, monitoring budgets, making midyear adjustments, and closing out the budget at the end of the year. Part of the ALA Editions series of "Frontiers of Access to Library Materials", the book addresses both academic and public libraries, but also looks at many issues applicable to other types.

The new technologies that libraries now use have not only recreated the library, but are also redefining the traditional library budget. It is essential that a library budget reflects the increasing use of technology to provide information for patrons. Picking up where Murray Martin's "Collection Development & Finance" left off, this is a comprehensive guide to planning, developing and implementing resource budgets. It helps readers to incorporate into their budgets the radically different cost structures and financial decisions involved in access to electronic networks, online services, interlibrary loans, electronic document delivery and shared resources. This book explains the implications of information access on a budget, and helps readers plan for resources which are neither held nor owned in order to respond quickly to patron expectations. It describes how to define all the hidden costs, from personnel and equipment maintenance to leasing and electronic account feeds. The authors discuss how to weigh these costs against patron benefits, how to reflect this mix in the budget, and how to make informed projections for future programmes. Also included in this budget guide are: budget and resource-sharing models based on real-life scenarios; reader-friendly diagrams and tables, complete with sample budgets and cost estimates; and up-to-date, select annotated bibliography of the most current resources.
