[R2R-OR] Q and A: how specific do I need to be on the budget?

[Katie Anderson]

Hi!  I just receive the following excellent question and thought you all may want to know the answer.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Question:
Katie,
Just a quick question to make sure I get this correctly. On the budget pages--under the column entitled List things you will need
to Implement...  Should I just list the type of items that I plan to purchase?  In the case of Early Literary under Library Materials--do I just say books, Dvd's etc.

YES, just list the type of item you plan to purchase!
