Subject: Library funding for grad programs
From: Ann Morgan <aemorgan_at_csupomona.edu>

Is anyone aware of standards, guidelines, formulas, rules-of-thumb, 
etc. that might indicate the relative expense of funding library 
collections for different levels (undergrads, masters, PhD)?

We have a very small graduate program but it is growing and we're 
trying to find data to help us make a case that the library needs more 
money to adequately support our grad students. I've already checked 
the ACRL and ARL websites and have searched for articles, but haven't 
found much to help.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
