Shift Happens:
Aligning Financial Decisions
with Strategic Directions

Saturday, June 28, 2008, 10:30-12:00
Hilton Anaheim, Pacific Ballroom D

Libraries are continually required to make critical budget decisions that affect their programs, personnel and services. These decisions often find departments within a library vying against each other for the same library dollars. Collection funding competes against staffing needs; equipment requests are pitted against those for current expenses. The decisions are complex, whether budgets are declining or increasing. Join our panelists as they discuss how they have allocated resources to support the strategic directions of their respective institutions.
