And Others College Libraries Data Analysis Library Collections Library Planning Library Research Library Services Library Surveys Medical Libraries Public Libraries State Colleges State Surveys State Universities Tables (Data) Two Year Colleges The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education and the Postsecondary Planning Commission conducted this study of the library resources and needs of South Carolina postsecondary institutions as part of its goal to improve the quality of South Carolina state higher education programs. Questionnaires sent to college libraries were designed to test the quality of collections by checking standard bibliographies, based on 1975 Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Standards. Public library use was surveyed, annual statistical reports were consulted, and visits were made to university, college, public, and industrial libraries for further information. Five separate analyses were generated concerning: (1) South Carolina's two general purpose universities, (2) public and private senior colleges, (3) two-year postsecondary educational institutions, (4) health and science libraries, and (5) public libraries as they relate to postsecondary education. Twenty major recommendations were made for constructive action to improve the effectiveness, economy, and progress of library services. The appendices provide survey forms, 1974-1975 South Carolina statistical summaries, and the ACRL Standards. (KP)
