Many thanks to everyone who responded to the question I posted last month regarding collection development budgets. I learned a lot and have passed the information along to my library director. For those who asked to see how other libraries handle their budgets, I have attached a spreadsheet compiled with the responses that I received.

Currently, we assign our orders on the basis of the number of titles to purchase for each subject area, instead by a dollar amount. I have been tasked with finding out how other small college libraries allot their collection development orders. We are a public undergraduate college library with a college FTE of approximately 2800. If you are from a similar-sized institution, could you please let me know how your library allots your budget for your collection development orders—whether by dollar amount, number of titles, or another method. Feel free to contact me off-list if you would prefer. Many thanks in advance for your help!
