IDEAL UNIVERSITY BUDGET FOR LIBRARIES

Mr. MICHEL. Did I read somewhere in the justification that the ideal percentage of a university's budget that ought to go for libraries is something in the neighborhood of 5 percent? As a matter of fact, universities, in their budget have 22 or maybe 1 percent. My question is, How did we arrive at this figure of 5 percent when experience shows half of that or a quarter of it?

Mr. FRANTZ. Four and a half percent, five and six percent, have all been mentioned by different professional groups including accrediting groups and professional library groups. This inventory data I mentioned is based on a composite of those. It did not take any one arbitrarily.

Mr. FLOOD. What are you talking about, just books, what about bricks and mortar and space to sit down?

Mr. FRANTZ. This percentage I am talking about in relation to the question is the percentage of the total university operating expenditures that go to the library for all purposes.

AVAILABLE SCHOLARSHIPS

Mr. MICHEL. Is it possible in our statistical gathering to find out how many scholarships really are available to students from all our universities?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes. There have been a number of attempts made to gather that information, scholarships that are available from university sources, from private foundations, and so forth.

Mr. FLOOD. You are speaking of grants?

Mr. MUIRHEAD. Yes.

Mr. MICHEL. Everything.
