This paper discusses, from the viewpoint of a library administrator,
the economic and funding problems raised by the involvement of
academic libraries in networks. With increased access to electronic
information provided by networks, librarians must be involved with
planning what will be available on the network. In addition, a structure
is needed to facilitate collaboration among various members of the
university community to manage the system. Given the development
of electronic information technology and libraries' limited financial
resources, librarians must budget for expenditures related to providing
electronic information as well as expenditures related to providing access
to traditional materials. Librarians will have to determine priorities,
scrutinize budgets, and consider alternatives for reallocating money.
