Growth at ARL Member Libraries, 1962-63 to 1983-84.

Molyneux, Robert

Journal of Academic Librarianship, v12 n4 p211-16 Sep 1986

Research was undertaken to determine if the growth of academic library holdings was exponential, as reported by previous studies. Statistical analysis showed the growth rate of the Association of Research Libraries member libraries to be arithmetical, rather than exponential, taking into account library size and inflation.
