How to evaluate line item journals

• Cost vs. number of scientists served?

• No answers yet• Discussion?• Overhead vs. Programmatic funding

—Partnering, what is approach?—LLNL combines OH with programs on low user titles

• No real formula or criteria for determining outcomes

Other Library Expenses

• Inspec Database, used by Reference Desk, annual renewal: $22K

• Annual Reviews, renewals: $10K• Other catalog and server software agreements $25K• Hardware/Software Enterprise Solution Reinvention

$250K—Requested 3 years in a row—Current system is without maintenance agrement—When hardware retires, will be out of luck
