204 The University of California Libraries would continue to grow larger as time went on. By the end of the period in question, the cumulative difference would be over 45 million dollars and still growing. Table 38 indicates the capital expenditures required to house the materials acquired during the span of the present plan (that is, for the ten years from 1978/79 to 1987/88), as well as relieving current overcrowding. As in Table 37, the columns on the left are based on the assumption that the recommendations of the plan will be adopted, and the right-hand column assumes that the present methods of operation will continue. The calculations also assume: • that new on-campus construction will have capacity for five years' additional growth in holdings after occupancy; and • that both regional facilities will be built in increments, with the first increments having a capacity of 3 million volumes each and subsequent increments 2 million each. For these reasons, the totals differ from those in Table 34 on page 180, which is based on the unit costs of housing individual volumes. As indicated in Table 38, the total cost of housing by present methods during the ten years from 1978/79 to 1987/88 would be over 110 million dollars, or almost 50 million dollars more than the cost of the recommendations in the plan. If staffing were allowed to grow according to the pattern in other research libraries, the total cost of conventional methods would be even greater: an estimated $131,000,000, or more than double the cost of the recommendations. As with the operating budget, there is clearly a justification for the steps proposed in the economics of the situation, as well as in the desire for improved service. Conclusion. The library plan, as indicated earlier, proposes a new approach toward organization, operation and development of the University libraries. By a system of differentiated responses on multiple levels, it aims to provide a much greater range of resources than at present, with better and quicker access to those resources for all users. With the steps recommended at each level, with continuous planning and monitoring of performance, and with adequate funding, it should be possible for the system to deliver virtually all materials needed by its users, and within the time span needed. If this can be achieved, the plan will
