Editor's Notes
Welcome to Session T of the 2007 SUNYLA annual conference – Funding for the Future: Binghamton University’s Collections Resource Allocation Process. First, I would like first to introduce the panelists who will be making today’s presentation: Elizabeth Brown is Science Library Coordinator and Science Reference Librarian/Bibliographer for chemistry, Physics & Astronomy, Math, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. Erin Rushton is Science Reference Librarian/Bibliographer for Biology, Nursing, Bioengineering and Women’s Studies. My name is Ed Shephard and I am Head of Collection Development and Bibliographer for History, Classical & Near Eastern Studies, Art & Art History, Music, Judaic Studies and Medieval/Renaissance Studies. Today we would like to present the Collection Resource Allocation Process that Binghamton University Libraries undertook during the 2006-2007 academic year. This process was the culmination of a two-year, multi-stage project to undertake a full-scale review of the collections budget at our library, something that had not been undertaken in the 25 years I have been at the university. This project involved the entire collection development staff in an analysis of the library’s collection goals, resource allocation and budgeting process. It also brought in faculty involvement into the process to an extent that has not traditionally been the case at Binghamton. Our presentation will be organized into four parts: Goals and background steps Methodology and data collection process Analysis of outcomes Recommendations arising from the analysis
