Abstract
Trends in Scottish public library expenditure in the 1980s are examined, and resource allocation procedures and national trends are discussed. The index used to calculate library material inflation rates are criticised and it is demonstrated that this leads to a misrepresentation of the basic expenditure pattern. The interpretation and implications of variations in spending between authorities are discussed.Keywords
