Collection benchmarks

There is an interesting article in College and Research Libraries, July 2007, on providing financial benchmarks to target. It looks at the statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics and applies this data to the "bset" liberal arts schools reported by US News and World Report. It may provide some further ideas and strategies for us.

The article can be read at:
