- Clear Purpose...Complete Commitment. Long-Range Library Program for All Louisianians, 1987-1991. Information Needs Information Services Libraries Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Planning Library Services Long Range Planning Public Libraries Shared Library Resources Statewide Planning This long-range program results from the combined efforts of the State Library staff, the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) Administrative Librarian, Louisiana librarians, the Library Development Committee of Louisiana, and a number of other formal and informal planning groups within the state. The program includes: (1) an assessment of the general population and environments of Louisiana with corresponding library service needs; (2) an assessment of the status and library needs of special populations identified in LSCA legislation, including the disadvantaged, institutionalized, blind and physically handicapped, and persons with limited English speaking ability; (3) an assessment of major library programs throughout the state, including criteria of adequacy, status, and needs; and (4) a plan of action with measurable objectives to meet identified needs over the next five years. This publication identifies specific inadequacies in public library services, resources, facilities and personnel; it identifies the people who are to be served; and it reveals geographical, sociological, economic, and educational barriers to the expanded use of libraries. Finally, it presents specific goals and objectives as part of an overall plan to overcome both inadequacies and barriers. (KM)
