Current State of CSLA Cooperative Library System Service Assessment: Summary Report of Focus Group Results
Sullivan, Maureen
California State Library
In 2005 many California Public Library staff members attended focus groups on the status of California Library Services Act (CLSA) cooperative system services, which were held throughout the state in late November and early December and focused on four general questions: (1) What works well now in cooperative library services? (2) What does not work well now? (3) What is of most value to you and your members? and (4) What desired changes can you identify? This report is a summary of the results from these focus groups, which indicates that while some CLSA programs and services are still highly regarded and valued, there is much room for improvement and change.
