Abstract: This paper reports the results of a survey of Australian library holdings of monographs cited in two major philosophy journals in 2002 and published from 1970 to 1999. National holdings of these titles appear satisfactory, but there is a marked decline in holdings after 1996. Holdings in the libraries of the Universities of Sydney and Melbourne are very satisfactory, but again show signs of decline in later years. Holdings in the National Library of Australia are poor after 1992.
