Operating expenditures, including many automation expenditures, have doubled since 1986,
but during the last five years have remained at relatively stable levels of investment. The total salary
expenditures median has increased only slightly over the past four years. Monograph expenditures
continue to increase. The annual consumer price index (CPI), included in Graph 4, provides a
comparative reference for the increases in library expenditures.
