RSS

We’ve put together a collection of resources for budgeting that look at some important aspects of planning needs. Our colleagues at NPower developed sample spreadsheets to help walk you through the budgeting process. You’ll also find some resources about total cost of ownership, which encourage libraries to look beyond just the sticker price for equipment and also consider long-term financial impacts of adding equipment to the library.
