Auchstetter, Rosann M.
College and Research Libraries, v51 n3 p221-30 May 1990
Explores the role of the academic rare book library in terms of its financial justification and concludes that the primary justification lies in its utility as a research library. It is also concluded that institutions unable to support a proper rare book collection might be advised to develop appropriate special collections instead. (19 references) (Author/CLB)
