Unlock the secrets of expanding library access on a budget
In today's higher education landscape, academic libraries are being asked to do more with less. Shrinking budgets, staffing constraints and rising expectations from faculty and students have created a challenging environment. Yet, as highlighted in this whitepaper, library leaders are responding not with retreat—but with innovation.
"Pretty much every one of our libraries has either a flat budget or taken cuts. There’s less money for staff, less money for content. We’re really focused on how we can maintain a high level of service and a certain level of access to content."
The whitepaper showcases how three forward-thinking institutions—OhioLINK, San Diego County Library and the University of Central Florida—are navigating financial constraints while preserving—and even expanding—access to academic resources. Their stories offer practical strategies and inspiring examples for libraries everywhere.
