A study of the learning resources programs of public two year colleges provides a history and overview of the community college itself, followed by discussions of specific aspects of the library or learning resource center. These discussions cover personnel, administrative organization, technical services, materials and equipment, microforms, user services, cooperation and interlibrary loans, services to those outside the college, standards and guidelines, and facility planning. There is also a chapter which considers the impact of new developments, such as the library college, open education, and educational techniques using the new media and computers. Several sample organization charts and floor plans are provided. (LS)
