| contents | Initiating the Design and Development of a Western Interstate Bibliographic Network. Third Quarterly Report. January-March 1976. Montague, Eleanor A. And Others Bibliographies Databases Governance Library Networks Library Planning Organization Program Development Regional Cooperation Regional Libraries Serials Union Catalogs The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) received a year's grant from the Council on Library Resources to design and develop a library network for 17 western states. During the third quarter, work centered around defining a legal basis, governance structure, role, and appropriate level of program activity for the network. Major activities included: (1) election of the organizing Steering Committee Executive Board; and (2) meetings with bibliographic network directors and Library of Congress (LC) network planning representatives. Discussions centered on the project's relationship with existing networks and LC, and library resource sharing. The Executive Board and Western Council of State Librarians restructured the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) library program into a coordinating and catalyzing agent for regional resource sharing activities, renaming it the Western Interstate Library Coordinating Organization (WILCO). The appendices include minutes of the Steering Committee meeting, results of a survey of union serials data bases, and financial report. (Author/KP) |
