This publication is the latest in a series of annual publications which are intended to provide a comprehensive source of statistics on academic libraries in Texas. The report is divided into four sections containing data on four-year public institutions, four-year private institutions, two-year colleges (both public and private), and law schools and health science centers. Six appendices provide the following information: (1) notes and footnotes; (2) a copy of the instructions and survey forms from which the data were gathered; (3) operational definitions; (4) the fiscal year 1986 library expenditures from the General Appropriations Bill; (5) a directory of the participating institutions; and (6) an index of variables appearing in the text.
