This annual report is the first to be written since the middle 1960's. In order to provide a sense of progress, the problems, and the trends which have occurred during the intervening years, this report is organized around a series of major library concerns including: (1) collections; (2) physical facilities; (3) internal organizational developments; (4) personnel concerns; and (5) library services. The final section addresses the immediate future specifically: Berkeley's role in the emerging Universitywide system and the General Library's current efforts to improve resources sharing among academic institutions in northern California.
