My library's budget was cut by 25% to address the library system serials budget over-expenditure caused in part by the falling dollar. There is a freeze on all new srial subscriptions (without cancellation of another subscription). I have cut over 40 serial subscriptions (mostly print) to address the current budget crisis. "Cut serials, accepted reduced allocations to various physical and e collections fund allocations, accepted many more donations than I should! Reduce budget for binding and repair. Trained full-time staff and student staff in basic score sewing. Revised poicies on what materials are bound before heading out to the shelves (I. E., more unbound materials are making their way to the shelves, only to be bound if use or abuse makes such treatment necessary)" "All formats are affected, but in particular recordings, which we have almost reduced to nil. This is also in response to other non-budget issues." This is the first time I have ever faced a decrease of funds.

We did sustain a cut the the campus-wide budget cutting process, but that was covered to a large extent in other ways (mainly endowment funds). At the libraries' request, the campu budget people are starting to look at the possibility of some kind of contingency fund to help deal with the impact of the currency fluctuations." 1 It has caused our serials/e-resources expenses to eat up our entire budget. Last year we had no money for monographs (in any subject) except for the restricted endowments that could not be used for serials/e-resources. "Made drastic cuts in standing orders (started with cutting all A-R Editions series, then several of the composer collected works that are not heavily used). I've had to become extremely choosy about the books and scores I purchase; requests from faculty ad students get first priority. There are funds set aside to support purchases for new or revised courses, so I look for opportunities there." "I buy very few CDs (except for Canadian recordings) any more, since we have Naxos and it's heavily used. In general, I'm purchasing far fewer books and scores." Trying to set priorities for purchases when there's so little to work with. It has often felt like I spend more time spending less money because I have to be much more careful. "I feel like we're getting by in the short term. Our scores collection, for example, is fairly solid in coverage of core repertoire for the performance areas represented here. Many areas of our collection are very old, though. We're falling behind in the aility to purchase the newer scholarly editions that students ought to be using. I worry in the longer term about the quality of the book collection as well, if we continue with a funding level that allows us to purchase only a small number of new books evry year." "I work with 5 other subject areas in addition to music, and the problems I note above apply to my other subject areas as well. This is not just about music. We are working as a group to try to address the issues, through cuts, begging for more funds, etc. but we're small and the resources (campus-wide; province-wide, etc.) are quite limited." 3 4 years 25 1 43000 3 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 4 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 "Enseignement de la musique.

"Rather than collections strategies, we rely on budgeting strategies. In collaboration with all selectors, we project needs at the start of each fiscal year and adjust the allocations accordingly. We also maintain an exchange rate fund, which combined wih prudent planning allow for a fairly stable rate of acqusition. This is only possible because we enjoy substantial support from the university." Nothing noticable. Perhaps fewer CDs were purchased. The challenges for us have been the difficulty in filling gaps and allocating funds to new music eResources.
