Library Committee announcements

The Library Committee is pleased to make the two following announcements: first, the questionnaire regarding FASoS journal subscriptions that was circulated before the summer has shown that most of our subscriptions are being used. Second, the overall budget of the FASoS Library Committee remains at the same level, allowing for more room in the budget for journal subscriptions.

Just before the summer break, a questionnaire about FASoS journal subscriptions was circulated. Over 60 people responded to this call, which is highly appreciated. The Committee was happy to see that practically all our FASoS subscriptions (the biggest packages are faculty-wide) are being used. Several respondents actually asked for more subscriptions.

Connected to this is a second announcement. In cooperation with the Financial Director, the Committee has made a new budget for 2016. We are happy to announce that the overall budget has remained the same. The Committee did however make more room in the budget for journal subscriptions, while decreasing our book budget a bit. The rationale behind this is twofold; on the one hand, there is an increased demand for new subscriptions, while on the other hand we underspent on books. This is, at the same time, an invitation to send your book requests to Library Committee members.
