- Bridgeport Public Library Human Resources Information Network, Community Information Service. Final Report. Berman, Leslie M. Community Information Services Human Resources Information Networks Library Services Program Development Public Libraries Reports Background description, project summary of the first year, results of a survey of project participants, and second year summary are included in this final report of the Human Resources Information Network (HRIN) project of the Bridgeport Public Library. Objectives, activities, budget, and planning are reported for this project, which was designed to coordinate, improve, preserve, and make available the collection on human resources existing in Bridgeport. Details of agency visits, developing information collections, cooperative acquisitions and networking, and staff participation are also provided. The first year summary reports that the project was successful in helping to establish the library as an information agency within the community. The second year summary reports on design of the community information referral service. Goals, methods, personnel, the community resource file, and the subject index to the file are described. The project can serve as a model for establishing community information services in libraries. Recommendations are: (1) legitimize the service by committing library funds to its operation; (2) initiate publicity and outreach programs in the community; and (3) expand the scope of the service to reach specific city neighborhoods. HRIN agency questionnaire, subject index, sourcebook, sample publicity, and surveys are appended. (KP)
