I have been asked by a university committee to find out what kinds of 
allocation formulae are used by other undergraduate institutions to divide 
up the library books and periodicals budget among different departments.

Our formula was devised some time ago and it doesn't reflect many of the 
electronic resources that are currently available. I would be pleased to 
trade our formula for a newer one, if anyone is interested in an exchange 
of ideas on this topic. If anyone knows of a website where a lot of this 
information can be found, I would be interested in that as well.

Thanks.
