Study Notes

Priority-Based Budgeting (PBB) and Program Budgeting are budgeting approaches used in libraries.
PBB ensures resources are allocated towards essential programs and services aligned with the library's mission and strategic goals.
Anticipated demand and usage are assessed, resources allocated based on demands, and performance targets established.
PBB ties budget allocations to performance targets, encouraging accountability, transparency, and measurable results.
Efficiency and effectiveness are maximized by adjusting budget priorities as needs evolve.
In PBB, budgets are organized around specific programs or services in Program Budgeting (PB), facilitating informed resource allocation decisions.
Flexible Budgeting allows libraries to adjust budgets dynamically to changes in demand and usage patterns, ensuring better resource utilization and response to emerging priorities.
With Flexible Budgeting, libraries can accommodate fluctuations in usage during exam periods or school vacations, and adapt to sudden increases in demand for digital resources or technology upgrades.
By using PBB and PB together, libraries can optimize their resource allocation decisions, enhance their ability to achieve desired outcomes, and better serve their communities.
