Committees and Work Groups

About

In F2016-17, the Funding Work Group undertook to develop a new database funding formula characterized by:

  • Clarity and simplicity
  • Equity and impartiality
  • Sustainability.

The formula attempts to apply these principles both within and among member types (academic, K12, public and special libraries).The new formula eliminates usage as a measure for individual members, but seeks to generate member revenues reflecting broad usage across member types.

The resulting formula was approved, and following a straight 5% increase for all members in F17-18, implemented of the new formula began with F18-19 invoicing. The complete implementation timeline follows, subject to the transition rules outlined below.

Implementation timeline
  • F16-17 - Last year of old formula
  • F17-18 - Old formula plus 5 percent
  • F18-19 - 1st year of new formula
  • F19-20 - 2nd year of new formula
  • F20-21 - 3rd year of new formula
  • F21-22 - 4th year of new formula
  • F22-23 - All KYVL members in formula under transition rules
Transition rules

Individual institutional assessments during implementation of the new formula are governed by the following transition rules:

  1. Nobody pays less than under the previous funding formula.
  2. Everyone paying less than the new formula amount reaches new formula as soon as possible, subject to a maximum annual increase of 20 percent, except:
  3. An annual increase of greater than 20 percent is applied when needed for a member institution to reach new formula in a maximum of five years.

A summary of the effects of these transition rules starting in year one of implementation is as follows:

If in comparison with prior year's bill,
increase under new formula is:		 Institution pays:
Less than or equal to 0% Same as current bill
More than 0% but less than 20% New formula amount
More than 20% but less than 150% (upon year one implementation) 20% increase annually until new formula is reached
More than 150% (as of year one) Uniform annual percentage increase that will result in being in formula in five years

KYVL membership cost estimator

Statewide licensing makes it possible for KYVL member schools and libraries to access database content for substantial savings compared with list price. To estimate the annual cost of database access through next June 30, enter requested information for your institution below.

Please note that costs may vary based on the transition rules that govern implementation of the funding formula. See About > Transition rules.

KYVL calculates member costs using the most current data publicly available at the time. F21-22 figures are based on 2018 ALS data (total expenditures) and F18-19 IPEDS data (FTE). You can check your institutions's figures at nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/InstitutionByName.aspx.

Funding factors and data sources

Each library type pays a base fee and a cost (or costs) based on population served. Public and academic assessments include a calculation based on collection expenditures. Publicly available data is used whenever possible. Costs estimates are updated each spring and invoices are issued in June, with estimates for the following fiscal year distributed upon payment of annual invoices.
