摘要

The research extends the 'Purdue studies' of research library growth, presenting results that include library statistical trends during a 35-year period, 1951-1985. It serves to update Purdue's nine-report series (1965 through 1973) and is a validation study of Purdue's growth forecasts, 28 of which were published in 1965, then revised in 1971. The research libraries considered here represent 58 'first tier' American research universities that were members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) in 1964, when the Purdue studies began; all are members still. The results describe 35 years of growth and change in library holdings, volumes added, professional and non-professional staff size, and in three expenditure categories--salaries, materials and binding, and total, plus university/main campus total and graduate enrollments, and Ph.D. degrees awarded. Growth trends are reported for eight 'composite' libraries that differ in size, i.e., the average or mean; the median, first quartile and third quartile; and four collection (or holdings) sub-groups, the 'large', 'medium-large', 'medium-small', and 'small'. Correlational findings also show the strength of relationship, year-by-year, among the study variables. Some estimates of future growth through 1990 are presented, together with suggestions for further research.
