- School Library Resources Program. Final Report, 1983-1984. Computer Managed Instruction Elementary Secondary Education Input Output Analysis Learning Resources Centers Library Automation Library Collections Library Services Models Nonprint Media Program Evaluation Questionnaires School Libraries School Surveys Use Studies Data for this evaluation of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) School Library Resources Program as operated during the 1983-84 school year were collected via surveys of library media specialists and teachers. The stated objectives of the program scheduled for attainment by June 1984 called for planning a pilot program for computer-managed library-media services; the implementation of an average of three of the services in the four pilot senior high school library media centers; and planning for and establishment of High-Tech Science and Mathematics Information Banks in at least 80% of the library media centers. Findings indicated that the project coordinator and an advisory group of library media specialists had researched materials and recommended selection criteria for the project; the seven potential computerized services to be established were file maintenance operation, book circulation, records of overdue fines and fees, collection reporting, reading lists, cataloging and bibliographic retrieval, and patron recordkeeping; the project plan had been developed but, due to difficulties in ordering the computers, the pilot program in the four schools did not take place; a 21-page core list of materials appropriate for a mathematics/science information bank had been developed; and library media specialists had submitted plans for their banks but materials ordered did not arrive until the end of the school year. This report describes the project, the design of the evaluation methodology, and evaluation results. Extensive appendixes include questionnaires and summaries of results. (THC)
