Academic Libraries Budgets Case Studies Change Agents Comparative Analysis Consortia Electronic Libraries Higher Education Institutional Environment Library Development Library Networks Library Services Problems Program Implementation Shared Resources and Services State Programs Explores the cases of two states, Louisiana and Ohio, which found budget problems to be the occasion for concerted statewide efforts to improve academic library services.
