Searches also qualified enough to have fallen within years of online cataloging, but distant with “AND (BB OR BG)” to limit statewide system to Bloomington enough to have allowed time for catalogers to assign subjects.

What follows are five columns of numbers from readily available sources, plus a final column of professional librarians per 1000 students (as of 1990). There seems to be some support for the observation of Paul Mosher that more staff in collection development will generate more complaints about overwork. But differing institutional needs and arrangements make comparisons difficult. Enrollment Library 1981 Library 1990 Prof/1000 Students ca. 1990 Total Prof Total Prof 1990 Indiana U.
