This study looks closely at the collection development and
spending plans of library specialists in medicine and biology,
predominantly from major academic institutions, but also
including some corporate libraries and smaller colleges. The
study covers overall budgetary allocations for medicine and
biology, with time series data, as well as data for spending
on eBooks, books, journals, databases, and other information
vehicles. The study also reports on collection development
plans for specific subject areas such as oncology,
pharmacology, and evolutionary biology, just to name a few.
The 100-page study also gives extensive data on the use of
institutional digital repositories, trends in information
literacy, relations with library patrons and many other areas
of interest.
Participants include Harvard University, McGill University,
the University of Manitoba, the University of Auckland, the
University of Pittsburg, Carnegie-Mellon, Sanofi-Aventis and
many others.
