Hi everyone, Here's a recent reference on Academic Libraries that might be of interest to some of you: The Survey of Academic Libraries, 2004 Edition, published by Primary Research Group, provides a detailed survey of academic libraries, focusing on their acquisition and budget and expenditure policies. Includes data on print vs. electronic purchases by these libraries.
