Dear all,
Thanks for sharing the importances in your tenancies.
I am curious about those institutions that have four levels (or five, if you count "no importance"), and how you treat these from an acquisitions perspective. Do you have four different purchasing ratios based on these importances?
If so, are your academic staff generally aware of the acquisition ratio that will be adhered to, if they mark the item as one importance or another?
I've found that if you are using the "View Breakdown" tool in Reviews 2, and the item is cross referenced on several other lists, then having multiple purchasing ratios becomes a bit messy to deal with. Without some sort of inbuilt calculator where you can plug your ratios in, it slows down the workflow of reviewing and making purchasing decision, especially on longer lists.
Thanks,
Kevin
