| contents | A Simulation Model and Data for Library Planning. Millham, Charles B. Bookmobiles Computer Oriented Programs Cost Effectiveness Delivery Systems Flow Charts Futures (of Society) Library Collections Library Expenditures Library Facilities Library Planning Models Public Libraries Rural Areas Simulation State Libraries Statewide Planning The Library Development Division of the Washington State Library and the Library Futures Planning Task Force developed cost data and a computer simulation model in order to construct a series of alternatives for extending library services to areas of the state now unserved. User needs were assessed, and cost data were developed for mail-order delivery, bookmobiles, and new library facilities. A flow chart of the simulation model was constructed, and the sensitivity of the results of the simulation to changes in data were analyzed. Specific cost data is included for facilities, bookmobiles, maintenance, collections, and staffing. (Author/LS) |
