Damon,
I suspect that who pays what probably has something to do with the institutional budget structure. In university libraries, each department have their own budget, the selectors pay for their selections because they do manage the collection allocation for their subject area. With small free standing seminaries like LTS, faculty do not have collection or a supply budget, they only have a salary. The dean and the library have budgets. The library holds the collection and maintenance budget. We do not charge for anything in the library except for printing, retrieving materials from storage, and ILL shipping fees. Those services are free for the LTS community.
All the best,
~Dolores

Subject: [ALCTS-acqnet] Does your academic library charge for the collections dollars or staff time involved in supporting programs?
Hello, all!
Do any of your libraries charge or tax departments for the support and services you provide? Some examples include in-class Instruction/workshops, multidisciplinary resources paid for from library collections but heavily used by specific departments, work involved in managing subscriptions that are used/paid for by specific departments.
If so, I'd love to hear about how you came to this model, and what your experiences with it have been.
Thank you!
