[LIBRARYDIR] BAS funding RE: Feb 27 LLC meeting (Collaborate)

Thu Feb 26 19:33:54 PST 2015

I will try to be as diplomatic in my description here of what has happened out Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

For our first BAS (Technology and Applied Design), the state granted $75,000 in library money to help build our collections and hire a librarian the first year. The next 2 years we had something like $50K to finish building collections and then that was done.

Now, for our two most recent BAS programs (Public Health that began fall 2014 and Transportation Logistics Management that began winter 2015) each had budget lines written into them that would have funded a part-time librarian and provide 15K in start up library funds during the first year. But hey, that was just on paper to get it signed off on by the state. There was actually no money in the budget to back these items up - it was just to make it look good on paper. We cobbled together a part-time librarian position for 2 quarters out of our budget and some miscellaneous money our dean found. And as far as collection/resource funds, our VP of Instruction dug around and came up with $4,000 total to split between the 2 programs. Yup, $2,000 per BAS program. And that is all we know from here on out.

Our first program, BSN, provides $25,000 and it is used for a librarian and collections/databases, although I am not sure that a librarian was part of the original plan.   This is part of our own budget.   I believe this is so high because of a state mandate.

Our BAS in Information Systems provides $10,000 for collections/databases.  They are still trying to determine what resources they need for the program, but the main use is Safari.    Our third BAS in Organizational Leadership and Technical Management is pending NWCCU approval, and the plan is to provide $2,000 for year 0 so we can begin building the collection, and $10,000 once the program begins.   These budgets are not in our overall budget.

Thanks,
Erica

Mary, Green River has 2 IT BAS programs, and we receive $10,000 from the programs towards specialized databases.  The money comes directly from their budget line rather than being transferred to the library.  Our technology fee supports our online databases, and we are spending an additional $10,000 this year from the tech fee to get Books 24x7.  We’ll evaluate to see if we continue next year.

We have other BAS programs waiting to see if they approved, and each one asks for different fund amounts for the library.  The nursing one asks for additional librarian hours because of anticipated heavy IL instruction.  Each time the funds will come from the program itself rather than the college.  We haven’t been given any additional institution funds for collection or staffing.

Mary,

Highline has four BAS programs.
We were given one time funds of $17,000 the year before the programs launched for collection development. We spent most of it on specialized databases.
We have also been authorized to spent $7500 per year, per BAS program, on ongoing collection development. Again, most of this will be going to databases. These funds haven’t been added to our library budget. They remain in the BAS budgets, and we will do expense transfers at the end of the fiscal year. I believe it is set up this way because the college intends the BAS programs to be self-supporting, so they want to track related costs within one budget.
We have not been given any support for staffing.

Could you all send me any information you have regarding support of library services ($$ and staff) that you have received when you have added, or are about to add a BAS program…..and could be talk about this ever so briefly at our meeting?

Thanks,

Mary

P.S.  Sorry for not giving you earlier notice.  This just came up today and the provost ask that I query you all about this.

We can start right at 9 a.m. and begin with the numbers – that makes sense to do anyway.

I see the alma cost discussion looks like it’s going to happen sometime in the 9-1:30 slot.  That’s a bit vague for me, because I’ve got a faculty training workshop I should attend running between 10-noon.  I can skip out if necessary, however, but obviously having a specific time would be nice.  So, in decreasing order of preference, let me plead for some help:

1.      Can we shuffle things so this discussion happens after noon?

2.      Or, ends before 10?

3.      Or, at some very specific time so I can return to my office from the classroom(s)?

Explanation: apparently a spreadsheet of costs was presented to Presidents recently.  Those numbers for GHC far exceeded anything I’ve heard of up to now.  As in, a few weeks ago it seemed $27,150 would be a likely number, but the President now thinks we are on the hook for $58,355.   I think I know the reasons for the discrepancies, and don’t think we need to discuss on this list before Friday’s meeting, but I’d certainly like to be there during the discussion.

So, can we pin things down?
