PROGRESS IN DOCUMENTATION: BRITISH UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES 1977–1987: SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE CHALLENGES OF DECLINING RESOURCES

Abstract

The annual reports of British university libraries all tell similar stories in the period under review: each year was described as a period of financial constraint, with hopes expressed that future years would bring an improvement. This never proved to be the case as on the whole the situation gradually worsened, the only respite being occasional periods of level funding.
