AffiliationsUniversity of Malaya Library AbstractDescribe how selected libraries in Malaysia manage local conference proceedings. 52 questionnaire were sent out in June 1990 to selected libraries. A response rate of 79% (n=41) was obtained from libraries, which held conference proceedings. The responses indicate that responding libraries obtained their conference publications through a variety of ways such as making official requests, through gifts, purchases and maintaining exchanges amongst libraries. Most libraries used the daily newspapers to keep track of conference publications for acquisition purposes. Only a small proportion of responding libraries provide an index to individual conference papers. Fewer still systematically keep statistics on its usage rate. 13 out of 41 automate their conference proceedings collection and 7 out of these libraries uses CDS/ISiS to mange the conference paper database.
