Committee members Frances Williams and Shirley Igo listen
system members and members of system advisory councils, and
on-site visits to each of the Major Resource Center libraries by
PAS staff members and consultants.
The PAS staff for the study include Dr. John O. Hall and
James Doyle. Special consultants participating were Lester Stoffel,
Alphonse F. Trezza, Keith Doms, Katherine McMurrey, Ellen
Altman, and Edward G. Holley. The first two of the three-phase
study have been completed and copies widely distributed
throughout the state.
A reply rate of 71 percent of member libraries to the
questionnaire sent gave surveyors not only a significant body of
information but also reflected considerable interest on the part of
these libraries in the systems study. Although replies reflected
overwhelming support for systems, comments on related questions
indicated limited experience in the kind of cooperative endeavor
that system organization facilitates. In addition, the replies
suggested that many respondents were unsure about the roles of
libraries other than Major Resource Centers in decision making.
The low response of members of the advisory councils (in only two
systems did a majority reply) may have resulted from the feeling of
limited involvement among members of these groups.100
