Corporate Predators Caught In Meltdown, Gil Villagran

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The meltdown of Wall Street's so-called 'investment institutions' where the financial bubble of over-valued assets finally burst is so mind boggling that even economic gurus with PhDs and Nobel Prizes, and CEO billionaires testifying before Congress fail to fully explain what happened.

An unfortunate financial version of a perfect storm, similar to Hurricane Katrina hitting the Gulf Coast?

Budgeting For Library Technical Services In An Electronic Age, Adetoun A. Oyelude, C.O. Ola

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Library budgets have serious implications for the smooth operation of services. In an electronic age, technical services become more relevant and it is essential to budget for personnel, equipment, supplies, and maintenance. A large number of academic, research, and public libraries in Nigeria were surveyed, and virtually none had a technical services budget. In light of those results, the need for budgeting in libraries and budgeting techniques in technical services are examined. The decentralization and democratization of fiscal management are recommended.
