A better approach would be to consider a fraction the library's budgetary costs as investment toward increasing each year's borrowed item count. The size of that fraction can also vary from library to library and likely varies drastically from month to month. |

http://www.haplr-index.com/HAPLR_JUN...m#Observations I find it interesting that over a 10 year range covering 39 states only 15% of the budget was 'invested' in items to be borrowed. Helen |

I'd like to hear more about the chart on the library website showing why patrons aren't able to borrow the e-books they'd like. It would be nice if best selling authors and publishers that do and don't support libraries were shown in every library and on every library website...
Especially, when one of those authors uses the library to "give a talk" that's a thinly veiled session to do nothing more than pimp their new book, that they REFUSE TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE LIBRARY IN e-book form... |
