This compilation of primarily narrative reports from 24 federal projects funded by the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) and administered by the California State Library covers the period 1985-1987, with further reports to be published approximately every other year. Each report--excerpted from a standardized summary report form--is arranged by the subject nature of the project, rather than by chronology or alphabet, and allows for subjective opinion of how well a project succeeded as well as more objective evaluations of goals and objectives. Reports on five types of programs are included: (1) programs for children and youth (8); (2) programs for the disadvantaged (3); (3) information and referral programs (4); (4) outreach programs (6); and (5) technical support programs (3). These reports are offered with two hopeful purposes: that they will give the library community and state and federal government officers a better idea of how LSCA funds are improving library services to Californians; and that they will aid present and future LSCA projects in carrying out their objectives to better effect and in improving the report process itself.
