Abstract
The continuing debate on scientific journal price increases, photo‐copying and networking, if nothing else, at least serves to focus our attention on one thing: the paucity of collected and detailed financial information on UK libraries. Only in the academic sphere can we find anything other than fragmented and non‐comparable statistics and even there the information goes little further than overall expenditures on books, journals, binding and salaries. In the USA, the recent Fry study goes some way to filling a similar gap by collecting a large amount of data for a several year period and similar studies here would be useful.
