This study addresses that gap through a national survey of public and private university provosts/chief academic officers, with attention to size of the institution, accrediting agency, and the status of librarians at the institution. An understanding of provosts' perceptions of library value and preferences for communication aid library directors as they seek to leverage the findings of value studies for library advocacy.
