Dearth of Academic Library Collections: Gifts and Exchanges as a Panacea?

Aguolu, I. E.; Bukar, A.; Idakwo, M.

Education Libraries Journal, v45 n2 p23-29 Sum 2002

Describes a study of 10 academic libraries in Nigeria that investigated collection size and devices employed in collection-building, particularly gifts and exchanges. Concludes that gifts and exchanges are only palliatives, not a panacea for the paucity of academic library collections. (Author/LRW)
