Most of our dues or fee-related items come out funds separate from our book & database buying funds, except for READEX ownership/maintenance fees. Although I *think* in the grand scheme of things, we would probably consider those funds as "collection development" related and not "operating".

We have a line in the operating budget for this sort of thing.

These costs come out of our operating budgets.

Hello, Kelly and all,
Our operating fees cover all of those except consortial membership fees and serials-vendor fees, which are paid through acquisitions. Our acquisitions funds also cover ebook-vendor fees, maintenance fees for our link resolver and discovery platform, serials MARC updates, RDA Toolkit, Classification Web, professional-society memberships that give us access to journals and the odd e-resource, and a handful of resources available only to library staff (GobiPlus, Choice Reviews Online, and Doody's). Acquisitions also subsidizes interlibrary loan to a fixed amount annually; the Resource Sharing subscription and the rest of the borrowing fees come out of other lines.
Some of the logic is simply legacy practice: RDA and ClassWeb replace former print resources, as do the review sources, even though not all of them were available to patrons. A proportion of ILL fees we consider part of just-in-time provision. The serials-MARC updates are related to our link-resolver and discovery tools; since OCLC and our ILS costs don't come out of Acquisitions, though, whether other back-end systems should is a different question entirely. For the moment, they do.
I hope this helps!

We cover ours in the operating budget. We also cover open access related costs that do not provide content to our users (such as supporting DOAJ) in the operating budget. OA costs that provide our users with content, such as BioOne, are paid from the collections budget.

I'm curious to find out whether your libraries allocate collections-related maintenance costs in your collections or operating budgets? Some examples that we are assessing include ILS maintenance fees, OCLC fees, consortial membership fees, institutional repository fees, book vendor fees, and binding.
Thanks,
