The physical sciences and engineering libraries at UCLA will probably
be cancelling in the neighborhood of $200,000 for 1991/92.  Our
overall budget is $1.3 million (books and journals), which is about
35%-40% of the overall UCLA book budget.  This doesn't include
medicine or biology -- they'll probably have to cancel some too.
