<p class="MsoNormal">Back in September I posed a question to this list about academic libraries’ role in purchasing software. With time comes more fleshed out questions, so now let me ask you this:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Budget: In the library and university environment, who is allocating budget to academic software? In libraries that are supporting software, are they doing so from collections budget? Did they get additional budget to support these needs? What is the process
in academic affairs and ITS? Etc. <o:p></o:p></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Process: what is the process for requesting, evaluation and provision of software? Etc.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Role: is this a role that academic libraries are/should take on? Are libraries moving in this direction? Etc.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide. <o:p></o:p></p>
