Hello Colleagues:
I thought this one would be easy to find, but I haven't had luck so far.
I am looking for data on what percentage of a public library budgets are devoted to collection development. (Nationwide, Oregon, any group of some size will do.)
I am consulting with a library with an annual budget of 2.4 million, with only $100,000 devoted to collections per year. This strikes me as very low, but I haven't come across a good source of nationwide data to support or disprove my gut reaction.
Anybody know of a source? Or, please email me off-list with your public library collection budget as compared to the library budget as a whole.
