<p class="MsoNormal">You may want keep a couple of things in mind as you think about this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Does your library system handle accounting across multiple fiscal years (e.g. accrual accounting)?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Will you be able to pay 1 ½ yrs for a resource if a vendor will only do a long-term adjustment vs. a ½ year adjustment for the year?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some vendors are willing to do it and be flexible about it. Others are not as flexible, so you still may have some that don’t conform with the new system. You’ll want to decide if the year or so to get everything on the same schedule is
worth the work and if the budget is flexible enough to handle the changes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am hoping the collective wisdom can offer some advice. Has anyone shifted all database renewals from a fiscal year start to a calendar year start?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If so, how difficult was it to coordinate? Were there any challenges? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Since June and July at academic institutions are traditionally vacation months for many campus offices, it can be challenging to get approvals. I am trying to brainstorm ways to work within the system. <o:p></o:p></p>
