State Standards,Planning, and Public Library Size |
| |
Abstract: | Data from a 1992 survey of compliance by Ohio public libraries with state standards were used to examine relationships between achievement of a planning standard and each of 22 size variables. Significant but. weak correlations were found between planning scores and population of the service area, volumes per capita, number of ALA/MLS employees per capita, interlibrary loans to the library, and interlibrary loans from the library. Findings suggest that library size as traditionally measured may not have a substantial influence on a library's capacity to engage in long range planning. |
