University Libraries and National Development

The main objective of writing this book is to enhance the understanding of library problems and responsibility of library development to university administrators and government officials. High-level policy makers, whose decisions directly affect university library development, may find this book helpful in suggesting how they can improve their universities by removing the obstacles which prevent or reduce necessary development of library resources and services. In short, this book is designed to serve the national self-interest as well as the teaching and research interests of the university community.
