Library cuts periodical budget
Devalued dollar buys fewer magazines, books abroad
By JORN E. KAALSTAD Staff writer

Playboy, the Boston Globe, Berliner Zeitung and 174,000 worth of other periodicals will be taken off library shelves next spring, according to Richard Ring, KU collections development librarian.
And the same amount of money or more will be cut from the book budget. Ring said.
Surprisingly, the cutbacks are not caused by KU budget changes, but a devalued U.S. dollar
Over the last two years, the value of the dollar has weakened compared with leading foreign currencies. That means the dollar is worth less abroad. The significance of this is that KU libraries purchase 40 per cent of their international expenditure abroad, mainly in Western Europe and Japan. Rippe said.
Buying literature abroad has been a challenge for many authors, bibliohouses must, back on, or
types of periodicals both scholarly and popular. Ring said.
Not just foreign literature is printed abroad. Many English language publications are published in Great Britain, France and West Germany.
Del Brinkman, vice candleholder for academic affairs, said this summer that the library budget would increase to a fiscal year 1988, which started July.1.
"We got more, but not enough more," he said.
The cutbacks have created concern among some KU faculty members.
But that increase was not enough to offset rising costs, so the cuts had to be made. Ring said.
Marlin D. Harmony, chairman of the chemistry department, said scientific periodicals were very important for research. He said a representative from KU libraries told him to compile a list of expendable periodicals.
whole idea." Harmony said.
He said he hadn't heard back from the library.
"As of now I don't know which journals will be out" Hermann said.
The library administration is very beautiful. Harmony said, "They just do it."
KU libraries will spend $1.4 million on periodicals this year. That makes the budget cuts 11 percent of the total budgeted amount, Ring said.
The problem is not just KU's. Ring said other universities such as Kansas State, Nebraska and even Harvard had reported that they would cut library budgets because of the levaled dollar.
