The Fresno County (California) Economic Opportunities Commission (FCEOC) library produced this policy, procedures, and use manual as a guide for community action programs. The manual includes information on structure and use of the card catalog, organization of materials, use and organization of the vertical file, organization of grant research materials, user eligibility requirements, circulation procedures, ordering and acquisition criteria, interlibrary loans, reference and research services, periodicals, and public relations. Presented in the appendix is a decimal classification scheme for community action agency libraries developed by the FCEOC Library to meet its special requirements. Also appended are a list of primary vertical file divisions, a periodicals list, and a bibliography. (LS)
