Data on changing library expenditures
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) website is an excellent source of statistics on all aspects of the operation of its member librariers (many of the large research libraries in North America). The figures that we quote on serials acquisitions and serials prices quote come from the ARL's statistics on monograph and serial costs and total expenditures. The ARL prices and expenditures are measured in current unadjusted dollars. To account for inflation, we can convert these to constant dollars, we using the consumer price index.
