Academic Libraries Advocacy Communications Higher Education Information Networks Library Surveys Needs Assessment Preservation Questionnaires Shared Library Resources State Libraries Technological Advancement Telecommunications Two Year Colleges The Pennsylvania State Library's Office of Resource Sharing and Academic Libraries conducted a survey in 1986 to assess the needs of academic libraries in the state. Data were gathered via a questionnaire that was mailed to directors of 180 libraries at Pennsylvania postsecondary institutions offering at least a two-year degree. Usable responses were received from 82 directors for a 45.5% rate of return. A number of unmet needs were identified, including the needs for: (1) advocacy of academic library needs; (2) linked systems protocols; (3) telecommunications; (4) new technologies; and (5) preservation. Four focus groups of selected academic librarians then met to define and interpret survey results and formulate suggestions for ways in which the state library might deal with the unmet needs. These groups recommended that the office: (1) develop advocacy for academic libraries within state government and in the academic community; (2) develop a strong communications program; (3) provide leadership in statewide linked systems, telecommunications, and preservation initiatives; and (4) provide consultant assistance on local integrated systems, communications, new technologies, and preservation. Three tables present data on tests for difference between population and respondents; 13 high need priorities; and 13 unsatisfied need priorities. The questionnaire is appended together with marginal data, and 17 references/notes are provided. (CGD) |
