FY17 Collections Budget Cuts — May Update
To meet our expected collection expenditures without cuts in FY17, the MU Libraries collections budget would need to be $7.2 million. Our expected revenue (or budget for collections) will be approximately $6 million. To accommodate the shortfall, we will need to reduce our expenditures by 1.2 million or approximately 17% in FY17.
Please see our FY17 Collections Budget page for a full overview of where we are in this collection reduction process.
