National and International. Emerging national and international bibliographic networks will inevitably involve the University of California libraries, and issues of governance will undoubtedly arise as these arrangements become formalized. When decisions by the University must be made, the channels described above will be followed, with input from all affected bodies, recommendations by the Steering Committee, and decisions made by the Academic Vice President and President. It should be emphasized that at all levels, the fullest possible communication and consultation is necessary in order to insure that all factors are considered. Only thus can decisions be wisely made and widely understood.
CHAPTER XII SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND COSTS The University of California grew rapidly during the decade of the 60's to fulfill the responsibilities mandated to it under the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education. Three new campuses were established, and enrollment more than doubled. The University libraries also grew rapidly during this period in order to accommodate the needs of the new students, new faculty, and new academic programs that accompanied the University's growth. With the 1970's, however, came drastically changed demographic projections and a resulting need for radical changes in planning, both for the University as a whole and for its libraries. Not only had enrollment growth slowed, but the State (particularly the State Department of Finance) had become increasingly concerned about the cost and efficiency of the libraries. In a 1971 report, the Department urged greatly increased "interdependence, cooperation, and coordination,” both to reduce costs and improve service. Several University committees have recommended specific steps toward this end, and a significant amount of progress has already been made. Yet many problems remain. There are insufficient funds for materials required for instruction and research; users face increasing difficulty in obtaining materials from the collections when they are needed; space for both users and collections is rapidly being exhausted; and library operating costs continue to rise. To a large extent, these problems arise from the persistence of traditional methods of library operation, in particular the attempt to build self-sufficient, autonomous collections. A new approach is needed, with more attention to differentiating users' needs, distinguishing between materials on the basis of utility, and exploiting available technology to create a coordinated, Universitywide library system. In the words of the Academic Plan, "new patterns of library organization and
