| Abstract: | Texas State Library's 1996 to 1999 long range plan for library development provides for the establishment and expansion of programs needed to carry out the objectives of the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA) and the Library Systems Act (LSA). The first three chapters give an overview of the Statewide Library Development Program of the Texas State Library. An assessment of the current situation of libraries in Texas is provided, the goals and objectives for improving library services in the coming years are set forth, need for those services is established, and cost estimates are given to raise current levels of service to standards. Five major goals are examined: (1) improve library service and increase library resources through financial support; (2) make material and information more easily available to patrons by encouraging libraries to share resources; (3) extend library service into unserved areas; (4) provide needed training and information for librarians and those in positions of responsibility; and (5) enhance services to persons with special needs. Goals, standards, need indicators, objectives, and tasks are outlined for LSCA projects in 17 areas of service. The 10 appendices provide more detailed information about the Library Development Program. Examples of these include an "Automation and Resource Sharing Plan,""Library Automation Standards and Guidelines," and "General Guidelines for Reciprocal Borrowing." Contains seven references.
