Sponsored by the 28 member libraries of the British Columbia Union Catalogue (BCUC), this proposal requests funds from provincial government to establish the British Columbia Library Network (BCLN), a computerized library information system based on the existing BCUC organization and database. Chapters describe the need for the establishment of the network, as well as the objectives, principal findings, and key recommendations of the BCUC replication study definition phase. Appendices provide (1) a list of studies which have been completed as part of the BCUC replication study, (2) a summary of BCUC funding to date, (3) a summary of the provincial secretary study objectives and deliverables, and (4) a list of the current BCUC membership.
