Abstract:

Literature loss refers to the declining ability of US libraries to maintain a comprehensive book collection in the face of extraordinary growth in publications and price inflation. Another possible explanation of literature loss might be that libraries might be shifting the emphasis from collecting books to collecting alternative formats such as non-print materials, or depending more on access to materials rather than ownership. This study attempted to: identify the collection patterns for print ( books) and non-print
