The purpose of the Florida State Library's Long-Range Plan is to implement the provisions of the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA). The introduction to the report outlines the purpose and planning process of the plan. Section I contains a profile of Florida. Sections II and III examine the status of the Division of Library and Information Services and Florida's Public Libraries. Section IV presents a needs assessment of Florida academic, state institution, school, and special libraries. Section V examines the governmental structure of Florida as it relates to libraries and identifies executive departments and organizations concerned with the delivery of library service at the state level. Section VI delineates a plan for establishing an evaluation process to monitor and evaluate programs and projects supported under LSCA. Section VII presents an outline of the plan's goals and objectives and the state policies that guide Florida's LSCA grant program. Specific policies, goals, and objectives are then presented for Title I--Library Services, including special populations and services; Title II--Public Library Construction; and Title III Interlibrary Cooperation and Resource Sharing. Summary statistics for Florida public libraries for fiscal year 1991-92 are appended and an index is provided. (JLB)
