SummaryThe academic landscape has changed in recent years. In the modern academic environment, competition between departments and programs for scarce dollars is the order of the day. Despite the fact that the library is traditionally “the single largest budget center in any academic organization” (Schrift, 1993, p. 29), it is not exempt from this competitive atmosphere (Rubin, 2002). If anything, the library often runs the risk of being overlooked by the academic funding authority if steps are not taken to increase its visibility and vocalize its needs.
While this is certainly a challenge, it is by no means an insurmountable one. However, libraries need to take certain specific steps in order to overcome this challenge.
