  • National Program of Library and Information Services of NCLIS: Implication for College and Community College Libraries. Related Paper No. 8. Lynch, Beverly P. College Libraries Colleges Cost Effectiveness Financial Support Higher Education Information Networks Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Services Library Standards National Programs Private Colleges Program Evaluation Two Year Colleges Since college and junior college libraries are imbedded in the organizational framework of the colleges they serve, the perspective of the colleges with regard to educational planning at the national level will bear directly on the library's role in the National Program for Library and Information Services. As educational costs rise and available moneys decline, college libraries will be asked to demonstrate that a national plan for sharing library resources and building information networks will be cost beneficial. The resources of many college libraries would be inadequate to meet the standards required for participation in a national program. Financial support would be needed to bring them up to standard. To meet the expectations of the college community from a nation-wide library network, the federal government must ensure reciprocity in the exchange of services. (Author/PF)
