| contents | A Needs Assessment Study of Oklahoma Libraries for Oklahoma Department of Libraries. Summary Report. Change Strategies Communication (Thought Transfer) Financial Support Graphs Librarians Library Networks Needs Assessment Professional Continuing Education Public Libraries State Agencies Statewide Planning Tables (Data) The major findings and recommendations of a needs assessment study of Oklahoma libraries are summarized. Recommendations focus on public libraries; however, school, academic, and special libraries also participated in this survey. Top priority needs include: more professionally trained librarians; continuing professional education; additional state funding; cooperation among Oklahoma counties to provide improved library service; strong leadership and a larger professional staff at the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL) to carry out its mission as a responsible state agency; sharing of library resources--materials and staff specialists--for more effective money budgeting; improved communications between libraries and ODL; written objectives and needs assessment of users to improve library service to the community; direction and education for promotion of cooperative activities between all types of libraries; and investigation of different methods of cooperation in which all libraries can participate. A more in-depth analysis of needs and recommendations may be found in the complete report. (Author/MBR) |
