Every month Content Management sends individual budget reports to representatives from each department and concentration. In 2013-2014 we will assess the need for this process and, if deemed essential, will develop methods for streamlining the process.

The Furman University Library maintains over 500 print journal subscriptions. We will systematically evaluate each of these subscriptions for use and value to the collection and, with input from Library Administration and Outreach Services, cease the subscription or migrate to electronic access as appropriate.  

The Furman University Library has recently expanded our electronic reference resource subscription through our access to Sage Knowledge and Credo Reference. During 2013-2014 Collection Services will provide data and support to Outreach Services if they wish to withdraw print copies of these resources from the reference collection.

Begin a multi-year evaluation process of electronic and print journals to see if we can expand our use of Copyright Clearance Center for electronic journals that are seldom used, but may be important to access for accreditation purposes. More than one year of data should be used to provide a thorough evaluation.

At present, the Content Management Coordinator is the only position in Content Management with a current job description on file with Human Resources. We will assess previous job descriptions and evaluate present responsibilities and workloads to produce up-to-date descriptions for each position in the department.
