THE GROWTH OF THE LITERATURE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR LIBRARY STORAGE 1. MONOGRAPHS
17
Abstract
Recent book production is examined from a library point of view, and estimates are made of the total cost of,and space required for, the annual UK book output. It is found that these measures increased rapidly through the 1960s but that since 1971 the cost has stayed roughly constant and the space required has declined. The present situation is found to be too unstable to be able to make even short term predictions of future output.
