The institution allocates a regular budget for the library. The librarian in coordination with the finance and counting division prepares and manages the annual library budget. Library staff participate in the budget preparation by identifying and recommending library resources based on the actual needs and services provided by the library. An Annual Procurement Plan is prepared in consultation with the library staff. Library needs are provided through purchase request and with the approval of the administration. Library fees and funds allocated for the library are utilized for library physical enhancement, salaries of job-order and library aides, acquisition of facilities, equipment, furniture, collection and fixture, collection development and services improvements as well.
In line with the policy of transparency and accountability, CHMSU empowers each fund manager to spend the allocated budget to deliver effective and satisfying services. Financial work plan is developed as a guide in the use and disposition of the funds. The empowerment of fund managers is very helpful in tracing the collection and its expenditures. Given the authority to allocate for priority and mandated services and programs enable the office/unit to have better and satisfying operations.
Because of the financial support from fiduciary fee, GAA, and other external funds, the library collection, ICT equipment, and facilities were prioritized. The establishment of Learning Common Area, Discussion Rooms, Graduate School Library, E-Library, and Student Lounges; the repainting of walls and ceiling; the installation of CCTV, Internet; leased line; as well as, the installation of ceiling fans in the Student Lounges were some of the innovative projects that streamlined the physical setup and environment. There are also enough support staff to facilitate the delivery of services.
