Conference Track
1. Managing e-Resources & Licensing
Learning Objectives

Abstract
Effective collection management and funding advocacy require that academic library materials budgets reflect the complexity of their underlying acquisitions. We introduce a faceted budget structure that addresses acquisition mode, material type, material format, and discipline in each fund-- thereby empowering budget transparency, reliable ongoing spending control, and accurate long-term planning.
