Written in consultation with area school library/learning resource center specialists and university library science program faculty members, this handbook has been developed to assist librarians, information specialists, and instructional technologists in planning for the development of library learning resource centers in Iowa's area schools and community colleges. Following a brief introduction, library/learning resource center services to students, faculty, and administrators are defined, and guidelines are provided for: (1) staff; (2) quarters and facilities; (3) materials collection; (4) budget; (5) equipment; and (6) furniture. Quantitative guidelines for each area are arranged in three phases to enable area schools to develop both short- and long-range goals for their library/learning resource center programs. General guidelines for audiovisual materials and equipment storage are also provided. In addition, a bibliography includes 127 sources of information on standards, facilities planning, administration, selection and acquisition, and instruction. Listings of Iowa State Board of Education members and Iowa State Department of Education and Division of Instructional Services administrators are also provided. (KM)
