| Summary: | This report examines the process of planning library services for off-campus students that was undertaken by the Vermont State Colleges (VSC) in 1982, and considers the implications of the plans for the system as a whole as well as for the Community College of Vermont (CCV), a non-campus, non-traditional college without a library. Following a brief background discussion, the detailed assessment of the VSC library and information services is summarized; the activities and recommendations of the system-wide Library Assessment Group (LAG) are described; and the implementation of the plans to date is discussed. In addition, a consideration of the implications of the plans for CCV describes CCV's problems in securing the educational resources to provide equal opportunity to students throughout the state; VSC's proposed statewide educational resource system; CCV's appointment of a Resource Task Force designed to help students, instructors, and staff to do effective research; and the proposed publication by the Resource Task Force of a Resource/Bibliographic Instruction Manual. The attempts of CCV and the Resource Task Force to develop an internal, supplementary resource system in response to VSC's plans are also described. Maps depicting the fall 1984 CCV enrollment by site office and VSC enrollment by county are provided. (KM) |
