Abstract
I am conducting an archive-based historical investigation of one research institution’s academic library using a game theoretical approach. The goal is to evaluate past decisions and strategies pertaining to library planning and development and to extrapolate from this evaluation the preferences inherent in them. The research will answer questions about the effective utility of various types of library planning and the outcome is to furnish additional insight for present day management and strategic issues.
