- CISTI data is reported separately from the five line departments (AAFC,DFO, EC, HC, NRCan) as both its size and the fact that it has considerable revenue generation for document delivery distort the analysis
- We have used CISTI's A-base budget only
- Environment Canada Departmental Library (NCR) budget and staff were greatly reduced after Program Review
- CISTI uses cost-recovered funds to supplement the purchase of journals and e-content
- The 47% growth in CISTI's journal budget is a result of document delivery revenues supplementing the journal budget. With document delivery volumes now falling, CISTI anticipates a decline in journal spending for 2003/2004
- The dramatic increase for e-journal titles precludes the calculation of percentages. This is part of the marketing model publishers deploy. Many e-journals are acquired alongside the print. The model may be free with print or print + 10-15%. "Free" electronic is for the first year only. After that, there are charges. For most titles, electronic alone costs more than print alone
Acquiring e-content is important enough that money is found through end-of-year spending; money taken from the monograph budget; money from special funds; cuts in titles in the paper collection
