Formula for Departmental Allocations

Library Materials Budget Formula Subcommittee 2002 Fred Beasley Tom Heard Don Kelm Lois Schultz

Variables in Formulas Credit hours Courses Number of majors Number of faculty Number of graduates Cost of materials Use of collection

“The best formula is one that quantifies need with the minimum number of variables since each variable adds time and expense of data collection as well as the number of calculations that must be made to implement the formula.” David Shappert Source: Tuten, Jane H. and Beverly Jones, Allocation Formulas in Academic Libraries, American Library Association, 1995.

Formula X = A + 2B + 3C + D +2E 9 Where X = Departmental allocation A = Lower division courses B = Upper division courses C = Credit hours D = Cost of books E = Cost of serials No department could lose or gain more than 5%.

Charge Include graduate program in the formula.

Formula X = A + 2B +2.5C + 3D + E +2F 11.5 X = Departmental allocation A = Percentage of university’s lower division courses generated by the department B = Percentage of the university’s upper division courses generated by the department C = Percentage of graduate courses generated by the department D = Percentage of the university’s student credit hours generated by the department E = Percentage of the average cost of books published in all subject areas by the average cost of books published in the department’s subject area F = Percentage of the average cost of periodicals published in all subject area by the average cost of periodicals published in the department’s subject area

Since 2003 Continuing cost items removed from departmental allocation Programs versus Departments New policy on purchasing journals  Electronic format  Multidiscipline packages  Cost per use model  Information Brokerage Service
