Access and Collections are making preparations to roll over to the 2020 budget for information resources.

Each year we normally wind up placing orders for books in late October to give Access and Collections staff as much time as possible to order and receive the books on the book budget for the current year.

This year with ordering being down somewhat compared to previous years coupled with an underspend in continuing resources I’ve been a bit looser and kept things going for longer this year.  However the time has now come to call a close on spending against the 2019 book budget and so orders coming through (including in GOBI selection carts) will now be held over until we open the 2020 budgets.

The rollover will happen before the end of the year but if there is something needed urgently then please let us know.
