The budget adjustment will:
• correct the structural deficit in the materials budget and • allow resources historically directed toward resources to be systematically applied to the upkeep of the reading rooms, study facilities, carpeting and furnishings.
Make clean, well-lighted spaces of libraries a vital part of the learning experiences of University of Texas students.

The impact of state-imposed budget constraints required that the General Libraries reduce its staffing complement by almost one million dollars. It is necessary to restore key technical and discipline-based specialties.
Staffing
$300,000 $315,000

The libraries will rely upon reorganization, reconfiguration and technological efficiencies to correct staffing imbalances.

Life Cycle Replacement
University of Texas Libraries
The increase in the Library Fee will establish a Life Cycle replacement line of $300,000, enabling the replacement of desktop equipment on a four-year cycle, slightly longer than the standard business approach to the maintenance of essential IT infrastructure.[i]
Life cycle funding 300,000.00 300,000.00
The projection assumes that costs will hold steady at $1500 per workstation; no inflation factor is added for subsequent years. A “steady state” of 950 workstations is projected.

University of Texas LibrariesMerit/Fringe Increase
Decisions to replace certain fringe-bearing funds in the general library accounts left a second unintended structural deficit. Those fringe-bearing dollars were replaced on a one-to-one basis with other funds. The one-to-one exchange has required the library to locate other sources to meet fringe benefits as well as on-going merit increases approved
by the administration.
Merit/Fringe Increase 306,771.00 320,493.00
Limited funding will be used to correct that structural problem.

• address the needs of newly recruited scholars• respond to new directions in the curriculum• correct porosities that have developed over time
•All of the funds will be absorbed by 2010 by recurring costs
