In this report, statistical evidence concerning library needs in New York as revealed by surveys of public, school, and academic libraries and school media centers conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, is presented fully with comparisons to regional and national performance. Resources examined and tabulated include professional and support staff, collections of print and nonprint materials, acquisitions of print and nonprint materials, space, hours of service, and operating expenditures. To the extent that similar data on a state basis are available from the 1965 Inventory and from U.S. Office of Education reports of that period, comparisons with an earlier decade are made. Key findings are summarized at the beginning, and appendices are provided on methodology, and on indicators of need and New York standards. (Author/JD)
