“…Whilst not aware of any independent published research that would confirm or invalidate these impressions, the impact of the RAE on both research and publications would seem to be a matter of importance to both the academic community itself and also for those whose task it is to manage information resources within that community. 88 In addition, over the past 15 years libraries have struggled with the growing gap between the price of scholarly resources and their ability to pay. According to Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory, the number of serials published increased over 60% between 1986 and 2000 to over 160,000 titles.…”

“…Some go so far as to state that the RAE has distorted the pattern of academic publishing. Stoker suggests that the need to meet RAE deadlines for publication could cause the research process to be dictated by an artificial criterion, with negative effects on quality, 75 or even that some academics seek to achieve their 'RAE four' by employing dubious devices, such as: recycling previous work for different journals (not always in the field); dividing a single piece of research into several articles; adding their own names as joint authors to output, irrespective of the contribution made; offering speculative or unfinished work in the guise of completed research; going into print too early with mediocre work.…”

I ntroductionUp to and including 2001, five Research Assessment Exercises (RAEs) have taken place, and the RAE now forms a regular event in the UK academic calendar. The RAEs have had a profound effect on the funding of university research, and the relationship between quality and quantitative indicators of research performance has been a constant source of debate. This article focuses on how and where academic journal publications 'fit' within the RAE process itself by looking at three distinctive areas:

Is there a correlation between investment in an academic library and a higher education institution's ratings in the Research Assessment Exercise?

Investigates whether a correlation exists between a UK university's academic excellence, as judged by its Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) ratings, and the amount spent on its library. Considers both macro and micro levels, looking at institutions as a whole, and on a departmental level within the area of archaeology. As well as comparing all the higher education institutions, this group is broken down further, comparing the ratings and spending of the Russell and 94 Groups. There are correlations between the different groups of higher education institutions and RAE ratings. However, rather than high RAE ratings causing high library spending or high library spending causing high RAE ratings, it is likely that they are indirectly linked, good universities having both high RAE ratings and good libraries and poor universities having low RAE ratings and less money spent on libraries. Also describes how libraries in universities with archaeology departments allocate budgets.

Auch diese Ausgabe der jährlich erscheinenden Literaturübersicht zum Bibliotheksbau bringt wieder eine rege Planungs-und Bautätigkeit zum Ausdruck. Die Thematik "Bibliotheksbau" ergibt sich aus der partiellen Überlagerung und Verknüpfung der Fachgebiete "Architektur" und "Bibliothekswesen".Entsprechend werden in dieser Spezialbibliographie Zeitschriften, Sammelwerke und Monographien aus beiden Bereichen ausgewertet. Der Umfang beträgt 368 Nachweise. Es wurden Publikationen über 231 verschiedene Bauobjekte erfaßt. Library building. A bibliography of the 1996 literatureThis edition of the annual bibliography on library building still shows lively planning and building activities. The subject "library building" results from the overlap and interrelationship of the subjects "architecture" and "library science". Accordingly, journals, compilations and monographs from these two fields are scanned. This bibliography has 368 entries, publications of 231 objects have been entered. VorbemerkungBisher wurde an dieser Stelle nur über geplante und fertiggestellte Bibliotheksbauten berichtet. Es mehren sich aber die Beispiele, bei denen es nach hoffnungsvollen Anfängen zu zeitlichen Verschiebungen, tiefgreifenden Kosten-und Standardreduzierungen oder sogar Streichungen der Baumaßnahmen kommt. Der Grund liegt überwiegend in den derzeitigen Finanzierungsproblemen der öffentlichen Haushalte. Es soll versucht werden, zukünftig im Anschluß an die Literaturübersicht solch eine Negativliste, aufbauend auf Hinweisen von Betroffenen, zu erstellen. Auslöser dieser Überlegung und Beispiel in eigener Sache: • Gemeinsamer Neubau für die UB der TU Berlin und die Bibliothek der HdK Berlin / 19 000 m 2 Nutzfläche / 127 Mio. Baukosten / Baubeginn: 1966-97 / Verschiebung bis nach dem Jahr 2000.
