Why are there three different priority levels within the 25% of lower priority titles?
The UM Libraries believes that all of the items identified as lesser priority are currently supporting campus needs and thus are important to our campus collections. Despite this view, the Libraries need to gather enough information to cope with possible budget restrictions over a multi-year period. It is therefore important to understand the relative priorities of various serial commitments. While an absolute prioritization of 25% of subscription expenditures is not practical, a three-tier prioritization is very helpful if it becomes necessary to make a number of cancellation decisions over time.
