Fund Allocations for Information Resources in China’s Key Universities

Abstract

Libraries in China’s key universities will be the bases for collecting and managing information resources that serve their own user communities and will be an integral part of information resources for the China Academic Library and Information System as well. Allocating adequate materials funds from the university operational budget is essential if these libraries are to adequately support their learning and research communities. This article examines the current situation these libraries are facing and makes proposals for changes.
