A combination of a static budget and the ongoing
serials
crisis (relentless inflation, journal proliferation, etc.) required NDSU
to conduct a cancellation project this year. Earlier this summer library
administration projected a total shortfall of $300,000 for FY2006-07 and decided
to reduce both the journal and book budgets to meet the shortfall. Dean
James Council advised all Academic Deans of the journal cancellation project and
that cancellation decisions would be made at an August 24, 2006 meeting.
In addition he asked faculty to notify subject librarians of any journals
they felt COULD NOT be cut. All decisions identified in the lists
below (cancellations, adjustments, etc.) impact the FY2007 budget and
generally go into effect January 2007. Contact a
subject
librarian for more information.
