BUDGETING IN SPECIAL LIBRARIES

Abstract

In times of frequent change, special libraries are facing constant financial scrutiny. To carry out budgeting effectively librarians therefore need training in financial management and good accounting skills. With help from the accounts department the librarian should investigate cost analysis and value assessment and pursue thorough effective constant revision of the budget, record‐keeping and data capture. Properly analysed information and clear presentation, to ensure senior management has a straightforward exposition of the facts, improve the chances of success.
