Scholarship Costs Money At Harvard
Harvard spends twice as much on its book collections as on undergraduate library needs. The library budget totals 1.2 million dollars annually, with 200 thousand for undergraduates and 545 thousand for graduate and research use plus 419.5 thousand for special collections. Harvard ranks second to the Library of Congress in total holdings, with 4.9 million volumes and a 30 million endowment at four percent. Metcalf believes 100 thousand volumes suffice for undergraduates while 500 thousand could form the best working library.
