A two-phase method for the allocation of funds for library materials to the various faculties and departments of a university is proposed. It consists of a first phase in which goal programming is used to allocate funds to the faculties, followed by a second phase in which a proportional formula is used for the allocation of funds to departments in the faculties. Sensitivity analyses of both phases are also discussed.
