Budget

I am looking at restructuring our budget.  I am hoping to pull from the
wisdom of the list.  How granular is the fund structure in your budget?  For
example, we have an engineering summary fund with allocation funds of
Industrial Eng, Mechanical Eng, etc.  As you know, the interdisciplinary
nature of subscriptions doesn't always lend itself to this type of fund
structure.  Also, do you have serials separated form other areas of the
budget?  I am in particular interested if you separate print (both journals
and monograph serials) and electronic serials and databases.  Do you have
your monograph funds structure very granular or general?  Do you have firm
orders separate from approval orders?

 

Last question, do you know of any literature that address the structure of
the budget?  I have seen many articles dealing with allocation but not
structure.
