About two years ago 9 libraries (out of 20) in my Library System individually paid for a software program that runs the computer and printing services for their library. It also tabulates statistics for computer usage, and these stats are used in a funding formula which determines funding levels for each library. So it is important to get accurate statistics.
Now the other 11 libraries are getting the same software so all of the libraries are on the same playing field when it comes to the computer usage stats. But the System is paying half of the cost of the software program for these 11 libraries.
Should the System reimburse (half of the cost) those libraries that had already paid for the software two years ago?
Thoughts?
Thanks.
