support that, in addition to the current funding rate, the WSU
administration allocate at least 1% of all new WSU
student tuition increases to the University Libraries for
acquisitions.
3. We further note that just for the FY 2007 8 materials
budget, an increase of $95,000 206,790 will be needed
merely to maintain the present level of access; and an
increase of $125,000 350,000 is needed to will
help fund some enhancements and an increase of $181,000 will fully fund
additional electronic resources desperately needed by faculty and students.
