We used to get "leftover" money from our regional library system's budget because it was a use it or lose it thing.
No major strings, other than it had to be spent very quickly. Sounds like fun (and it is *g*), but trying to use it to best effect, especially in a small collection, isn't so much fun with a deadline.
What are they specifically considering to be "academic" texts? If we're talking fiction to be used as part of a curriculum, I'd look at what's been in high demand in text format as well take a look at the curriculum for a few classes if you can in the time allowed.
I'm assuming you already have a source for purchasing them. Perhaps they have a recommendation list.
Let me know more details if you can and we shall ponder. ;)
