Public Opinion toward User Fees in Public Libraries.
Kinnucan, Mark T.; Estabrook, Leigh; Ferguson, Mark R.
Library Quarterly, v68 n2 p183-204 Apr 1998
A reanalysis of data from a national telephone poll (n1181) conducted in 1991 determined that if local libraries faced a fiscal crisis, 47% favored raising taxes, 44% preferred instituting user fees, and 9% advocated reducing services. Frequent library use, urban residence, higher level of education, and greater income were associated with a preference for taxes. (PEN)
