    The librarians' axiom: a "flat earth theory"? : the case of the Saldanha Municipality Libraries during the Great Recession
    (2011) Skelly, Lara; Underwood, Peter G
    The Librarians' Axiom is the theory that library usage goes up during an economic recession. This Axiom is supported by anecdotal evidence in the literature, but lacks statistical support. This dissertation attempts to fill that gap by looking at library use of the 10 libraries in the Saldanha Bay Municipal area during the 2008/2009 economic recession. No statistical evidence was found to support the Axiom. Several reasons to explain this result were explored, but none found to justify the lack of evidence that the axiom holds in this case.
