The Contribution of the Library to the Reputation of a University.

This paper explores the relationship between a peer-assessed reputation rating for each of the 247 doctoral universities and cross-institutional performance indicators for universities and their libraries. Using multiple regression, the variable of library expenditures, was the only consistently significant one using combinations of variables. This report is the first showing empiric evidence of the relationship between reputation with measures used in higher education and library performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
