University of California Systemwide Libraries

This is the first in a series of reports on the operations and management of the University of California. The study was undertaken to assist both the President of the University and the State Director of Finance to plan the University's future growth as systematically as possible.

The first volume in this series is concerned with the University's libraries. Part I deals with the development of library collections, and Part II covers library operations. The major findings, conclusions, and recommendations are summarized before each part for readers who are not interested in the details of the study. A chapter describing the methodology used in our analysis is appended, however, for any readers whose interest takes them that far.
