contents The Concept of Adequacy in University Libraries Moran, Michael College Libraries Educational Quality Evaluation Library Role Program Effectiveness Theoretical foundations are examined and shown to be faulty. The term "adequate" cannot meaningfully be applied to a university library collection because the library's contribution to education is not measurable. Practical measurements such as expenditure per student, quantity standards, and collection growth rates are considered. (Author/JAB)
