Trend 1: Collaborative Collection and Curation
4
Challenges:
•Library funding is decreasing as proportion of university budget
•Collections funding is flat – we are just keeping-up with inflation
•Electronic resources take up increasing proportion of budget
Solutions:
Networked approach to collection development, digitization, and even technical services spread costs for infrastructure and allow funds to be allocated toward user needs.
