The range of the papers reflects the broad range of issues that were included in the deliberations of the committee--matters dealing with legislation; standards and standardization in the context of networking; new pilot projects; the development of communication infrastructures that foster technological innovations; practical problems in managing innovative efforts; and pioneering uses of new technologies in libraries of all sorts. Specific topics addressed include statewide retrospective conversion projects; the development of telecommunications facilities; future plans to establish a statewide library network to link local and regional systems and provide integrated services; the Linked Systems Project (LSP); and the work of the Telecommunications Task Force, which was established to help facilitate the plan outlined in the SAC report, "Libraries & Technology: 1988."
