These brief reports prepared by the National Center for Educational Statistics precedes by several months the publication of the comprehensive results of a 1974 survey of 1,460 libraries in 50 states. The tables for college and university libraries include data on operating expenditures and numbers of staff for each state and for the entire United States. For public libraries, the first table presents the survey findings relating to operating expenditures organized by size of area served. Table 2 presents figures for circulation, interlibrary loans, and library resources; and Table 3 gives data on numbers of library staff. (EMH)
