- Arizona Library Survey; A Comprehensive Study of Library Services in Arizona with a Projection for Future Services. Stevenson, Grace Thomas College Libraries Legislation Library Cooperation Library Services Library Surveys Public Libraries School Libraries Special Libraries State Libraries This survey of Arizona library services includes an examination of the current library situation in the state, a forecast of future needs and the resources required to meet them, and a comprehensive plan for statewide library services. Procedures for the study involved questionnaires sent to all types of libraries in the state and each school district with a district library consultant or coordinator, visits to 32 libraries, two advisory committees, and a seminar attended by the advisory committees, the survey and state library staffs, and special library consultants. It was found that Arizona libraries are unable to meet the requirements of a rapidly increasing population. Recommendations for a cooperative, statewide system of library services, with the State Department of Library and Archives as the focal point, cover: state level services, district reference and service centers, district sub-centers, a statewide advisory council, strengthening the state library agency, defining roles and improving all types of libraries, needed legislation, recruitment and library education, library standards, and a program for public information. Appendixes include names of advisory committee members, the questionnaires and materials check lists used in the survey, and a 51 item bibliography. (JB)
