Academic Libraries and the Six Percent Solution: A Twenty-Year Financial Overview.

Goudy, Frank W.

Journal of Academic Librarianship, v19 n4 p212-15 Sep 1993

Presents data from 1971 to 1990 to show that the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) standard that the library's appropriation shall be 6% of total institution budget has never been realized. Suggested reasons (e.g., increasing budgets for administration, research, and student services) are discussed, and possible solutions are offered. (Contains 12 references.) (EAM)
