About

The KYVL funding formula aims for clarity and simplicity; equity and impartiality within and among member types; and sustainability.

As of July 1, 2022, invoicing, all KYVL member libraries and organizations are in formula, except for two for-profit institutions impacted by a rate change during the previous year.

Funding factors and data sources

For access to KYVL database resources, 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.

While usage is not a funding factor for individual members, the formula seeks to generate member revenues reflecting broad usage across member types.
