Abstract
Fund accounting tree design in computer-based accounting systems has been around for nearly 25 years. This is not new, however how we use this system has changed dramatically. The information needs of the Library Administration, Subject Librarians, Acquisitions, Collection Development, and college departments are diverse. We are no longer able to group materials into just the basic categories of monographs and serials. Reports must now accommodate the multiplicity of library material formats: e-books, streaming video, CDs, DVDs, etc. The accounting tree and the use of mnemonics in the fund code design enables reporting that tracks expenditures precisely and makes reporting those expenditures more convenient.
