Ted Flowers was the foundation librarian at the University of Newcastle and has had extensive experience as a library consultant in Australia and overseas. Throughout his professional life he has been a strong advocate for the development of an effective national library and information service, a topic to which he returns in his article. Now that the university libraries have become undisputedly the major players on the national library scene, it is important to get their house in order. The author concludes with his own I ]-point plan which, if adopted, would help to maximise the use of university library resources by scientists and scholars throughout Australia.
