  4. Future Spending Priorities.  A key challenge for the Library each year is allocating our budget to purchase books, journals, audiovisual materials and online/electronic resources to best meet the needs of faculty and students.  Recognizing that increased spending with one format will decrease spending with other formats, what changes would you like to see in the priority levels for spending by format?  The current percentage of the overall Library materials budget for each format is shown in parenthesis.
