"Cost cutting measures in libraries include difficult decisions on hard costs as well as the more elusive costs of staff time, processes and procedures. Balancing requirements with expenditures is a constant challenge for anyone responsible for a budget, much less trying to accommodate a shrinking budget. This presentation will arm the listeners with best practices and insights gained from a former law librarian who oversaw a major cost cutting project in a law firm library."

"Course Objectives:

1. Share practical experiences and best practices for cost saving in the library including expenditure on Online services.
2. Share ideas collected from literature on the topic.
3. Share ideas on how to work with stakeholders, change management and communication as they relate to cost savings."
