Subject: [lis-e-resources] Feedback on Ratios and Purchasing
Good Morning Everyone,
You may remember in February I asked if anybody used book ratios for purchasing. I neglected to feedback on the replies I received, apologies, I got distracted by my own zero budgeting forecasting for the next academic year. Many thanks to all those that responded.
I have now pulled this together in a Google Doc as I had problems attaching a word doc here is the link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c6oOHJ5yNgCANJMSUYJGpCEmyyeeUenb_nP2sd2NQ94/edit?usp=sharing
With respect to Staffordshire we do not have ratios and have previously stated that we would purchase no more than 5 copies. I have just had our first Reading List Policy passed by our Learning and Teaching and Assessment Committee. We will now take an ebook first, reading list driven approach to purchasing, and have committed to buying all essential titles and have removed the category required for purchase.
I am now going to have to enter the dicey waters of purchasing guidance, but we may not use the term ratio.
If you want the word doc send me a direct mail. I may write it up in a more readable form after we have decided how we will progress here at Staffordshire.
Regards
Vicki
