RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES

Abstract

This study aims to review the present funding pattern of UK university libraries at a time of considerable change. The study begins with a general introduction describing recent political and funding trends in higher education. This is followed by a short section outlining the major issues facing university libraries over the next few years. The main part of the study is based on a questionnaire survey carried out in late 1990 and an analysis of the findings. The questionnaire is reproduced as appendix 1.
