Abstract
In fall, 2010, academic departments at Coastal Carolina University were notified that they would not receive a defined allocation from the library for monographic purchases. Faculty were encouraged to request materials to support their courses, and were advised that requests would be filled on a first come, first purchased basis. At the end of the academic year, faculty were surveyed to determine satisfaction with an "absence of allocations.”
