  • Libraries in Southwestern Rural Ohio; An Overview and a Framework for Future Development. Wright, Donald E. Library Cooperation Library Planning Library Services Library Surveys Public Libraries Questionnaires Rural Areas The Southwestern Ohio Rural Libraries (SWORL) organization retained a consultant to aid the member libraries in planning for and providing improved library services. The purpose of this report, prepared by the consultant, is (1) to study library development since 1940 in Southwest Ohio--among the libraries organized as SWORL--evaluating present service and determining library needs, and, (2) to work with the SWORL libraries in preparing a plan for the future development of library service. A framework for development for each of the libraries is provided on the basis of information collected from: (1) questionnaires from patrons who entered the libraries on predetermined dates, (2) lengthy questionnaires completed by the librarians, (3) a general questionnaire sent to a random sample of 500 persons, and (4) monthly meetings between the consultant and the librarians.
