Seminar summary
This one-day seminar is aimed at librarians who want to gain an understanding of the
different activities involved in financial planning for resources within an academic library and an awareness of the challenges facing the wider sector that can have an impact on library budgeting.
UKSG is able to call on the extensive experience of its members in sourcing expert speakers
from various institutions within the academic sector to present an overview of all aspects of the financial management of information resources.
Why you should attend
The seminar will offer an insight into the financial management practices of a number
of different libraries, including the relationship with the organisation’s finance department. Presentations and case studies will provide a range of differing viewpoints on what is involved in financial planning, with an emphasis in the afternoon on the specific
challenges arising from managing open access payments. There will be opportunities throughout the day for group discussion and for delegates to share and discuss challenges they are facing at their own institutions.
Seminar level and previous knowledge required
This seminar is designed for those who are new to financial planning or for those who
need an update. It would particularly suit someone who has recently moved into a role which includes budget management responsibilities or analysing financial information. The seminar is not intended to provide practical training on budget management as the
expectation is that this is something that would be provided by an institution’s own Finance Department.
Learning objectives
Delegates should gain an overview of:
·
library financial planning cycles, including budgeting, resource allocation and future planning
·
the impact of Open Access and transformative journal agreements on budgeting for subscriptions
·

will have the opportunity to share and discuss experiences with speakers and delegates
