Do you know where to find a list of papers about "why collections matter"? One of my colleagues needs evidence to show administrators that collections space should be expanding, not shrinking, during a future remodel of the building.<br><br>There are two reports on <a href="http://www.spnhc.org/10/why-collections-matter" target="_blank">this page from SPNHC</a>, but my colleague is looking for peer-reviewed papers.
