PUBLIC LIBRARY NETWORKING VIEWED FROM A STATE LIBRARY AGENCY |
| |
| Abstract: | Especially over the past 30 years, state library agencies have played a major role in the planning and development of cooperative and networking activities among public libraries and between public libraries and other types of libraries. These activities have been carried out in a great variety of ways, with each state reacting to its own demographic, governmental, and library realities. The federal Library Services and Construction Act has been a major constructive force enabling state library agencies to be effective leaders in cooperative and networking activities. State library agencies and public libraries working together can continue to extend library services by taking leadership in networking activities. |
