Abstract

Information Systems Consultants Incorporated was retained by the Iowa State Library to undertake a study of resource sharing in Iowa to assist a Blue Ribbon Task Force in its efforts to improve access to bibliographic resources statewide. The consultants were asked to conduct a series of focus group interviews at eights sites around the state and to develop and distribute a survey form to 1,300 libraries in Iowa. The purpose was to gather data about current activity and opinions about resource sharing in the State. The consultants also were asked to determine the internal automation needs of the State Library.
