Similar analyses are also presented for SLS programs and services pertaining to cooperative lending (i.e., interlibrary loan), the delivery of library materials, special services to minorities and the handicapped, discretionary services, administrative services, citizen involvement, networking, legal structures, and program implementation. Appended are a copy of the letter from SLS to the California State Library requesting assistance with the study, a copy of a memorandum on the scope and intent of the study, and data tables on SLS member libraries and on public library systems throughout California.
