Will American academic and research libraries be able to cope with
the current technological, economic, and organizational issues that
are bringing about rapid changes in information services or must
fundamental changes first take place within these libraries? The
twelve essays collected by Spyers-Duran and Mann attempt to answer
this question. Section I: "Problems," contains essays on the
precarious financial environment of today's academic institutions;
the erosion of funding levels in British university libraries; and
realistic suggestions for financial planning in academic libraries.
Section II: "Changing Approaches," offers discussions on the
importance of sharing scholarly resources; the discrepancy between
library budgets and services offered; the growing role of the
library in the information industry; a review of funding formulas
in the academic library; and the changing needs, sources, and
styles of financial planning. The final section of the book
explores new opportunities for academic and research libraries, and
includes information on current library automation;
information-sharing among member libraries; external contracting
for library services; and grantsmanship.
