Automation Book Catalogs Cataloging Centralization Costs Financial Support Legislation Library Acquisition Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Technical Processes Personnel Needs Public Libraries Based on a year of inquiry and consultation, this report of the Suburban Maryland Project confirms the feasibility of cooperative technical service functions for the four public library systems of suburban Maryland.

Topics covered include: legal considerations, organization of the Center, personnel and staff, space requests, scope of the Center's operation, cost estimates, financing the Center, and prospects for expansion of operations. Appendixes include proposed legislation to provide for establishment of cooperative library service centers, a compilation of data on current practices in technical services sections, and excerpts from "Cooperative Processing Center--System Outline," Heliodyne Corporation, June, 1968.
