Budget Planning for 2009-2010

The Smathers Libraries will be submitting a proposed budget to the Provost on March 4, 2009. We are gathering recommendations from each department now. Those recommendations will be integrated by the Dean, Associate Deans and Directors and a consolidated proposal will be available the week of February 16th. A Town Hall Meeting will be held on Thursday, February 19th, to provide a briefing on the proposal as well as to respond to questions and receive comments.

This blog is an additional means to share comments and questions specific to the Libraries budget and budget process.

President Machen has set up a site for University budget information, including questions & answers (Q&A) at: http://budget.president.ufl.edu/. This site will be updated throughout the budget process, so I encourage you to look at it periodically.

Please remember that we are currently preparing a proposed budget. Later this spring, we will receive a response from the Provost and more specific budget guidance from the President. The Libraries will not know our actual budget until the Board of Trustees approves the University Budget in early June.

    The town hall meeting on the Smathers Libraries’ 2009-2010 budget, originally scheduled for Thursday, February 19th, has been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later time.

    The Provost has notified the Deans that the President will be addressing the Faculty Senate on Thursday afternoon and that we should not proceed with our internal budget discussions until he has spoken and we have received additional guidance from the Provost.
