It is the beginning of the Australian government financial year and
we are again facing hefty cuts to our acquisitions votes.
I have two questions to which I would be most grateful to receive
answers.
1. Does anyone have figures for book/serial price increases in the
fine arts and related fields since 1990?
2. Would anyone be prepared to let me have the [very broad] figures
for their acquisitions votes eg monographs/serials/a-v materials.
I am particularly interested in other museum libraries but any
specialist art library figures would be welcome.
Please send the information to me at:

I will summarise the information for the list.
Please let me know if you would prefer not to have your figures included
in the summary.
Many thanks from a VERY cold "down under" [the cat's water froze on the
door-step]
