Subject: Materials budget formulas
Our library is looking at different methods of determing the breakdown of
the materials budget in distributing funds for adult and juvenile books,
videos, books on tape, CDs, DVDs and eletronic resources.
We have a central library and eight branches. We have 581,757 items in our
holdings, we circulated 1,530,999 items in 1999/2000 and our new materials
budget is $643,365.
I would greatly appreciated learning from other public libraries what
formulas they use for determing the breakdown of their material's budget.
Thank you for any help!
