Since funding is based upon funds actually spent on collections rather than what is allocated to the college for that purpose, there is a possibility that annual collection fund allocations could be reduced if those funds consistently are used for other purposes. A handout outlining group buy price breaks was distributed. Lew Terpstra will coordinate group licensing throughout the VCCS and will see if other Virginia colleges and universities are interested in joining in group purchases. Lew will also explore the possibility of ALSS membership discounts for large group buys of ALSS licenses.
