California Library Statistics and Directory 1976. A Supplement to "News Notes of California Libraries", Official Journal of the California State Library

Abstract

Statistical and directory information for California are provided in one volume. The 1974-75 statistics cover library systems, public libraries in five population ranges, bookmobiles, academic libraries, special libraries, state agency and institution libraries, and county law libraries. Public library statistics for 1973-74 also are included. The data covers income, expenditures, personnel, and materials. For 1974-75 there also is data on collections, circulation, reference services, and interlibrary loans. The first of the three directory sections lists all types of libraries alphabetically by city or unincorporated area. Information includes library name, type, address, telephone number, interlibrary loan (ILL) phone number, TWX and Telex numbers, directory's name, schedule of hours, clientele and population, system or network affiliation, and branch libraries. The second section lists library systems and includes address, membership, and persons to contact. The third section is a chart of public libraries by name, with system, TWX or Telex number, ILL phone number, headquarters phone number, and chief librarian. An index for special subject collections in California libraries and a library name index are included. (LS)
