Resource Allocation Funds are allocated strategically to support the mission of the Libraries and the university. Some elements in our strategy are given in Principles 9-12 that follow. Consideration of value for the cost of information resources is important. Such an approach attempts to compare the expected benefit of purchases with their cost and potential use. Allocations are made to subject areas without regard for endowed funds that may be designated to supplement state funding.
Some funding is devoted to experimentation in accessing materials held remotely.
