The Town Hall Meeting on the Smathers Libraries 2009-2010 Budget has been rescheduled for Friday, February 27th. It will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in Smathers (Library East) Room 1A. Although this meeting is specific to the Smathers Libraries budget, not the Health Science Center Libraries, the Legal Information Center or FCLA budgets, it is an open meeting and individuals from those organizations are welcome to come.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the proposed budget for the Smathers Libraries in advance of its submission to the Provost on April 1st. This will be an opportunity to receive a briefing on the proposal as well as to ask questions and provide initial comments.
Please remember that this is only a budget proposal. Later this spring, we will receive a response from the Provost and more specific budget guidance from the President. We will not know our actual budget until the Board of Trustees approves the University Budget in early June.
President Machen has set up a site for 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.
The Faculty Senate has a budget blog at: http://blog.senate.ufl.edu/. This is another excellent source of information and opinion about the University-wide budget process.
This blog is a means to share comments and questions specific to the Smathers Libraries budget and budget process. I encourage you to participate.
