Library Service to the People of New York State. A Long-Range Program, October 1, 1986-September 30, 1991, for the Improvement of Library Services Utilizing Local, State, and Federal Resources.
New York State Library, Albany.
This annual report on the comprehensive 5-year program for the enhancement of libraries in New York State (1) provides a benchmark for the continuing planning, development, and evaluation of state library services; (2) summarizes the objectives, policies, and programs undertaken for the improvement of those services; (3) serves as a guide to library networks, regional planning groups, and other agencies that wish to participate; and (4) meets the requirements of the Federal Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA). An overview of the state library environment is offered; library systems and networks are profiled; statewide resource sharing and technological change are summarized; constraints on services are outlined; and the program's goals and objectives are discussed. Tables provide summary statistics on public, academic, school, institution, and medical libraries; the New York State Library; public library systems; systems and libraries by region; and state appropriations for higher education. A 23-item bibliography of major documents for the New York State library service program and lists of New York members of the LSCA Advisory Council and the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries conclude the report.
