BEYOND THE SPACE AGE: SCOTTISH NON‐UNIVERSITY TERTIARY EDUCATION LIBRARIES

Abstract

ATKINSON was mainly about space. However, certain very important general principles emerge in the report, firstly that the allocation of limited resources among universities cannot be decided without “making assumptions about the role and operation of libraries”. The report was not concerned with these assumptions, although it noted, secondly, that in deciding how much space should be allocated for readers, much depended “on local circumstances and teaching patterns”.
