The Future of Collection Development in an Era of Fiscal Stringency: A Symposium.

Schad, Jasper G.; And Others

Journal of Academic Librarianship, v18 n1 p4-16 Mar 1992

Discussion of development in academic libraries in light of budget restrictions presents two approaches to this situation: short-term coping strategies, and a change in the role of libraries from repositories of resources to access services. Unanswered questions raised by the second approach are discussed, and reactions by six librarians are presented. (29 references) (LAE)
