budget and subjects

[Carol VanBrocklin <carolvb@WMPL.ORG>]

Hello:
    This is my first time of sending out a request so hopefully I am =
doing this right.
     I am involved in "setting up" a totally new library for a small =
high school. One of the parents of a student has agreed to write a grant =
request for us for some books, but she needs some more guidelines.=20
     What I would like to know from some of you and is "what percentage =
of your budget do you put into each subject area?" For instance--do you =
put 15% into history and 10% into science, etc. etc. or do you just go =
equal across the board? I know that many schools do a dewey number or a =
subject heading each year, but since we are just starting up I don't =
want to do that. Any help that any of you can give me would be truly =
appreciated!
      I have also been told that there is a publication (possibly =
through ALA) that lists how many books that are published in each =
subject area each year. I have not been able to find such a list--so if =
any of you have heard of it or know where I can find it--I would =
appreciate that also!
