Not only does Brooklyn College serve the students and faculty of other CUNY campuses, but we also receive assistance from the University. In some cases (document delivery services; support for electronic information resources; computer equipment; the Inventory Project; the New Visions Grant) it is relatively easy to fix a value for what the University provides. In others (a new integrated library system) attaching a specific cost is more difficult. It is safe to say that, absent the direct assistance the Office of Library Services provides to us, the Brooklyn College Library would certainly be a lesser place: our students and faculty benefit greatly from these centrally-supplied resources.
In 2000 services received from CUNY central were valued as follows:
Electronic Resources | $ 71,767 |
Document Delivery | $ 31,389 |
Cataloging/Processing | $ 15,000 |
