Abstract
More comprehensive trend data on UK academic libraries’ operations and resources are now available. Explains the extended scope of annual published statistics ‐ along with a summary of results for 1994/95 and the previous ten years. Discusses the general statistical approach including the importance of trend analysis over long (ten year) time periods. Regular established statistics are important to monitor the extent to which traditional operations are supplemented or replaced by new technology.
