PUBLIC LIBRARY COOPERATION AND COOPERATIVES:

This paper traces the development of interlibrary cooperation in the United States during the twentieth century. Unstructured cooperation, indicated by such activities as the National Union Catalog at the Library of Congress (1901) and the first interlibrary loan code (1917), continues today. Since World War II, structured cooperation, including regional networks, special activities, and multipurpose cwperatives, has become more prominent. A definition of library cooperation is offered, and differences between the terms system, network, and consortium are explored. Probable future develop ments in library cwperation are mentioned, including applications of computer technology and potential political benefits of multitype library cooperation.

THE MISSION OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The author briefly describes arguments used in the quality versus demand debate, discusses how a number of public librarians have compromised between the two in their selection practices, and shows how battle lines are being redrawn with the rise of public libraries which claim to be exclusively demand‐oriented.

The bulk of the paper, however, reviews research done during the last quarter‐century in public libraries to determine whether any evidence has been found to support claims that demand‐oriented public libraries are filled with materials of dubious quality. While a great deal has been written on the quality versus demand issue, the author notes that much of it is rhetoric only; the research itself is scanty, in part due to the complexities of defining and measuring quality. However, three factors are identified which have been assumed to affect collection quality: the financial resources the library devotes to book purchases, the educational background of individual selectors, and the degree of contact such selectors have with the public. The author reviews studies relating to these factors and concludes that to date, there is no evidence to corroborate the belief that the quality of books in demand‐oriented libraries is less than that of their quality‐oriented counterparts. Suggestions for future research needed are included.

MEASUREMENT OF SERVICE AT A PUBLIC LIBRARY

Simple, efficient, unobtrusive data collection and analysis techniques were applied to study volume of use, user activity, and availability of items sought by users in a public library. Stratified sampling methods employed to measure volume of use and user activity showed that this medium-sized public library provided approximately 4,000 user service hours per week. The average visit lasted 34 minutes with 32% of all visit time spent reading library materials. Overall availability of items sought by users in the adult section was approximately 38%. The application of these measurement techniques, which can be carried out by relatively untrained staff or volunteers, to pinpoint possible improvements in library service is discussed.
