of the central library budget, or (occasionally) by grant
money.

Dedicated budgets are distributed by function to several
departments for staff, equipment, and vendor services.
Department heads have the responsibility for
monitoring expenditures. Project managers are
responsible for managing grant funds.
Each unit manages their own operational costs—
digitization, Web development, metadata, systems, etc.
Distributed responsibility as creating digital collections
is a complex process that involves several units.
For the units outside of DLPS (Fine Arts, RMDS,
Robertson Media Center) budget is requested as part of
OTPS through annual budget cycle.
