The Western Interstate Library Coordinating Organization (WILCO) received a grant from the United States Office of Education to develop and demonstrate a statistical data base system for library decision makers. The first quarter was devoted to obtaining background information, scheduling, organization, planning, and design. Achievements included (1) meetings to determine a framework of measures for the Program Classification Structure; (2) contact with the liaison person for the Major Research Universities Task Force; (3) compilation of a preliminary bibliography; and (4) selection of national advisory board members. The possibility of testing the system in Pennsylvania college libraries was investigated. The appendices include the preliminary bibliography, outlines of the task analysis and inventory, proposed schedule, revised Program Classification Structure, and budget. (Author/KP)
