The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) received a year's grant from the Council on Library Resources to design and develop a library network for western states. Functions and program plans were developed for the newly established networking organization, Western Interstate Library Coordinating Organization (WILCO), with programs in resource sharing coordination, continuing education for librarians, and library and information science research. Major activities of the fourth quarter included: (1) outlining WILCO programs; (2) identifying goals and tasks to guide regional resource sharing; (3) beginning to execute coordinating functions. The project has demonstrated the value of a multistate organization, based on state library agencies, to catalyze and sustain cooperative activities of individual libraries and networking organizations. The appendices which form the bulk of this report include WILCO program plans and budget for fiscal year 1977, and several working papers describing the organization. (Author/KP)
