Description

In 1997 the Arkansas State University library had no equitable means of making allocations. Funds had not been reallocated or redistributed in many years. In fact, one department accounted for nearly 20% of all collection development expenditures. After a literature search, the library chose a formula based on one developed Colorado State University as described in SPEC Kit #36.
