We have internal funds, gifts, and grants that pay for
the actual digitization (by a vendor) of the material.
This year it is $50,000. Each unit that provides staff
manages their own budgets. I would estimate that the
total staff expenditure with benefits is in the area of
$150,000 this year.
The Preservation Librarian with the Library Business
Manager monitors the expenditure of grant funds and
funds for the actual digitization. The Mann Library
Director is responsible for the management of staff
funding.
