Description
This report gives insight into the materials and technology purchasing plans of America's two-year, four-year and university academic libraries. Based on a survey of 100 randomly selected academic librarians throughout the United States and Canada, the data is presented for the total sample and then broken down by type of control of the college (public/private), level of the college (two-year/four-year) and number of students enrolled in the college, thus cataloging systems, CD-ROMs, computer hardware, online services, books and salaries.
