  • Toward Tomorrow's Area Library Service; A Survey of Regional Library Cooperation in Ohio: 1974. Goldwyn, A. J. Federal Aid Library Cooperation Library Expenditures Library Networks Library Planning Library Surveys Program Descriptions Program Evaluation Regional Cooperation Regional Libraries State Aid State Libraries State Surveys Regional library cooperation in Ohio operates under two organizational forms, the state-funded Area Library Service Organization (ALSO) and the federally-funded multicounty cooperatives. In 1974, to aid in statewide planning and in the development of each project, the state library commissioned this study of all its multicounty cooperative projects. Through mailed questionnaires and site visits, a review was made of each cooperative and its beginnings, organizational structure, needs assessment techniques, success in meeting established objectives, and long range plans. Emerging patterns and trends were identified and recommendations made for the state library, the Ohio Library Association, the ALSO, and the multicounty agencies. (Author/SL)
