| contents | A Pilot Survey of the Indiana Library Network System. Tolliver, Don L. Communication Problems Evaluation Interlibrary Loans Libraries Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Services Library Surveys Public Libraries State Programs Telecommunications A survey of twelve public libraries was conducted to determine the effects of the Teletype Writer Exchange (TWX) on library service in the State of Indiana. The centers seem to try very hard to provide excellent service for their satellites, and the satellites overwhelmingly support the centers. The TWX System is not being overtaxed consistently by any of the satellites visited. The centers reported that several of their satellites do not use the system very often while others make moderate but steady demands. Each center and satellite did its best to verify all necessary information for each request. All of the non-member libraries visited reported that they searched their own collection first before requesting materials either by TWX or Interlibrary Loan (ILL) procedures. Record keeping concerning request success and failure rates varies from library to library regardless of whether they belong to the TWX Network or not. Seventeen recommendations which will assist in improving the TWX service are made. (Author/NH) |
