- Librarians in an Austerity Environment Thomas L. Walker II Librarians Library Administration Research Libraries Budgeting Retrenchment Purchasing Bibliographic Databases Creativity Innovation Library Materials Library Personnel Barriers Work Environment Public institutions of higher education have seen mandatory state budget cuts for more than 20years, with each year's cut being larger than the previous. These statewide education cuts have affected academic libraries in a major way, resulting in purchasing cutbacks, decreased subscription renewals and cancellations. These drastic cuts in library budgets have caused librarians and administrators to cut not only fringe elements in the budget, but to develop creative changes in the fabric of library functioning in order to remain operational, as well as maintain accreditation standards. The purpose of this study was to evaluate methods used by library administrators to maintain collections to support programs at Carnegie institutions classified R1, R2, D/PU: Doctoral/Professional Universities (formerly R3) with varying degrees of research activity and selected M1 (i.e., Masters Large) institutions, and compare those data.
