Subject:  Fund Allocation

Hello all;

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their methods for 
allocating funds on a
yearly basis.

Currently, we use a formula that is based on Student Contact Hours, the 
size of the current
collection, circulation of said collection and the average cost of a 
book within each subject area.

We want to explore new ways of applying a formula that will better 
reflect the growing number
of smaller and new academic programs the university is developing.  The 
current method does
not do justice to these kinds of programs for future development.

You may reply off list, if desired.

Thank you!
