- Florida Plan for Interlibrary Cooperation Resource Sharing and Network Development. Computer Networks Information Networks Library Cooperation Library Development Library Networks Library Planning Online Systems Shared Library Resources Standards State Libraries User Needs (Information) In Florida, as in the rest of the country, there is a paradigm shift within libraries. Increasingly, the information necessary to respond to user needs is available electronically--sometimes only or most conveniently in electronic form. For librarians to be most effective in the electronic revolution, they need to link their libraries into a network of cooperating entities. This plan proposes a network of electronic and nonelectronic services through its affiliates the Florida Library Network, Florida InterLibrary Loan, and the Florida Library Online Resource Access Network (FLORANET). Goals are defined to facilitate interlibrary cooperation, resource sharing, and network development in Florida. Goals 1 and 2 call for coordinated leadership and continuing education. Goals 3, 4, 5, and 6 look at network development and use specifically, emphasizing the development of FLORANET. Goal 7 advocates reciprocal borrowing, while Goal 8 defines minimal interlibrary cooperation standards. Goal 9 emphasizes preservation and conservation, and Goal 10 suggests increased public awareness about the information society. Ten charts delineate responsibilities for each goal. (SLD)
