SPEC Kit 31 on Allocation of Resources in Academic Libraries contains the results of a recent survey of sev­ enty Association of Research Library (A R L ) members. Research libraries are implementing a variety of strategies to cope with stabilized budgets, from soliciting the political support of users to making selective budget cuts. The li­ brary collections seem to be suffering particu­ larly, with serials as prime targets for cuts. Prefaced by a two-page general discussion of the topic, the kit includes ten documents from member libraries dealing with: “ The Im­ pact of No-Growth Budgets,” “ Implementing Budget Cuts,” “ Procedures for Resource Allo­ cation,” and “ External Fund-Raising.” SPEC Flyer and Kit 32 on Preparation and Presentation of the Library Budget reports that many research libraries are trying new ap­ proaches to the increasingly complex tasks of budget preparation and presentation. Most of the sixty-eight members of the Association of Research Libraries who responded to a recent survey use more than one budget format, and three-quarters of them ask an administrative council, department heads, or a representative committee to serve as consultants during bud­ get preparation. Prefaced by the two-page flyer that discusses general findings of the survey, the kit includes
