Title: An analysis of the learning resources programs provided by the fifteen colleges of the Massachusetts Community College system

Abstract: This study analyzes the learning resources programs (library, audiovisual, television and production services) of the fifteen Massachusetts community colleges with the use of a questionnaire/checklist developed from the "Guidelines for Two-Year College Learning Resources Programs" and the supplemental "Quantitative Standards." Levels of effectiveness are described, both for the individual colleges and for the System as a whole. Recommendations for improvements in support and planning for learning resources services, staffing, budgeting, facilities and various other areas are made. The report includes fifteen tables, a bibliography, and several appendixes.

This study, the first of its type, has as its major working hypothesis that the learning resources programs of the System do not meet "Guidelines" criteria at the 100% effectiveness level. The results verify this hypothesis.

Six sub-hypotheses, one for each section of the "Guidelines," were tested in a manner similar to the major hypothesis. Sections I through V (Objectives and Purposes; Organization and Administration; Budget; Instructional System Components; and Services) were also found to not meet the 100% level of effectiveness. Section VI, Inter-Agency Cooperative Activities, did meet the criteria established and thus did not verify this sub-hypothesis.

The methodology developed and used for this assessment may be applicable for assessment of other types of libraries that have similar qualitative and quantitative criteria.
