If the specific dollar amount is not known, but the total student FTE for the consortium and amount spent for the academic members are known, divide the overall amount spent by the institution’s share of the total student FTE. The consortium or system office may make a value-per-FTE metric available for all members of the consortium.

• If you did not receive a copy of the "CO expenditures to report ACRL" spreadsheet, please contact Ying Liu.
