LISU's annual library statistics series is now well established as the most comprehensive set of statistics about libraries and information services in the UK. It gives the most recent figures available for libraries in all sectors, presenting the national picture appropriately broken down to give a useful overview of the current position, and in many cases how that position was arrived at. Coverage this year includes: - Public libraries - trends for up to ten years, on key aspects of expenditure, stock, services, use and users, by local authority sector. - Academic libraries - trends since 1991/92 on a range of features including expenditure, users, provision of stock and facilities, drawn primarily from HE institutions' returns to SCONUL and HCLRG. - Other libraries - the most recent information from the three national libraries, BLDSC, libraries within the NHS and in Government departments are included, with some limited trend information where available. - Statistics of general interest - including indexes of general, book and periodical price inflation, projections for the future of periodicals' prices, detailed information on Public Lending Right, and the latest figures for inter-library lending activity. A comprehensive bibliography gives details of the various sources used, and other relevant volumes and web sites
