This survey describes the methods that large academic and public libraries use to finance the implementation of new technologies, to replace equipment and furniture, and to renovate buildings. The range of methods used by libraries and the factors leading to their use are investigated. Approximately twenty different financing methods are used, but no library uses more than nine of these for any one area of expenditure. Operating funds are the principal source for capital expenditure. ·
