BUDGETING FOR LIBRARIES & SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION

Binghamton University Libraries

March 20 & 21, 2006

Symposium Organizer

Ed Shephard, Head of Collection Development

Binghamton University Libraries

The academic library community has undergone rapid change with the move
to digital in the last two decades. The discussion of the management of
this change is still very much in a self-defining mode. As libraries
struggle to identify both challenges and strategies internally, an
equally important issue is the interaction between faculty, students
(especially graduate students), campus administration and the libraries
in identifying and developing common goals for collection resource
development and budgetary methods to reach those goals.

The Binghamton University Libraries will hold a symposium on March 20 &
21, 2006 bringing librarians, faculty and students together with invited
outside presenters to explore the best ways to improve this dialogue on
our campus. This symposium is open to other SUNY institutions as well as
other interested participants. There is no fee.

The purpose of this symposium will be:

*	To explore the challenges of information resource
identification, prioritization and budgetary allocation in the digital
age.
*	To address the increasing interdisciplinary nature of teaching
and research, and to involve the university community in an ongoing
dialogue with the University Libraries in this process;
*	To address the broad issues of the changing nature of
scholarship in the digital age, both the production of scholarly
information and the communication of scholarship within the academic
community (e.g. the open-access initiative and its funding model
implications for libraries and universities) and how these impact the
challenges facing libraries in collection resource management and the
strategies used to address these challenges;
*	To take an important next step in the creation a flexible
resource allocation process at Binghamton University to enable the
Libraries to respond to changing research and curricular needs of
faculty and students.

This symposium is being funded by a generous grant from the Binghamton
University Provost's Office, as well as additional support from the
Binghamton University Libraries and Haworth Press.
