Description
Summary:The Nebraska State College Libraries share a mutual concern over the need for proper development of quantitative standards and library budget formulas. Their concern is categorized into matters relating to: (1) acquisitions, (2) expense and (3) personnel. Considerable institutional research has been developed in recent years to formulate standards of minimum adequacy of library support in the area of collection development, of expense and of personnel. The recommendations in this document are based on formulas used by the State of Washington College and University Libraries and the State University System of Florida Libraries. These system formulas have been widely copied by other systems as their validity has been tested over five or six years. Included in the appendices are Methods of Funds allocations, and descriptions and qualifications for library technical assistants. (Author/NH)
