- Price Trends Affecting Academic Library Budgets. Technical Report Series. Drake, Miriam A. Books College Libraries Cost Indexes Costs Library Equipment Library Expenditures Library Materials Library Planning Research Reports Salaries Serials Supplies Wages Price trends for the major operating expenditures of the Purdue University Libraries are examined. Four years of price data on books and serials purchased for various academic disciplines are presented. Price trend data are also presented for other library expenditures including salaries, wages, equipment, telephone, and supplies. It is concluded that although computerization may reduce real labor costs, the price trends indicate that further cost increases can be expected. (Author/DGC)
