Subject: ACQNET: Buying AV from the Book Budget
Our academic library book budget is divided into subject allocations, and
we have been receiving so many faculty requests for videos that we need
to establish a policy regarding media purchases. We are thinking that
allowing up to 20% of a subject's book budget allocation for media would
be reasonable, but would appreciate some input from other libraries on
this issue. If you have a policy limiting non-book purchases from the
book budget, what is it and how did you decide on a cutoff point?
