Book Description
This paper examines developments at 26 universities to identify patterns and models of telecommunications information planning and decision-making. The study was designed to determine how telecommunications information (TI) policy questions are resolved on university campuses, and by whom. An important aspect of the study was to determine the role of the library and university computing facilities in the formation of TI policy. To gather data for analysis, researchers surveyed 36 universities with local area networks (LANs), whether operational or planned, as listed in the 1985 Automation Inventory of Research Libraries; 26 responded. Seeking to identify the centers of decision-making and to determine spheres of authority, the survey covered wiring, telephone systems, TI policy in general, and the relationship of the library to computing facilities. Data analysis led to the creation of four models of TI policy formation: (1) Academic Affairs Sphere Model; (2) Administrative Services Sphere Model; (3) Computing/Information Systems Sphere Model; and (4) Decentralized Model, which includes a committee-based model. Appendices include detailed survey results on the status of campus wiring and on wiring decisions, university organization charts, and a copy of the survey form. (THC)

Book Description
This report, which considers the role of networking activities associated with the technical telecommunication links that bind libraries, services, and patrons together, begins with a historical review of libraries and automation-based systems over the last 19 years. The importance of the development and implementation of standards in interactive library activities for librarians using state or regional telecommunications networks is then discussed, including such factors as the need for increased functionality, performance reliability, consistent user assistance, access, and participation in governance. Also discussed are the activities of the various regional networks involved in the Linked Systems Project (lsp), including the development of standards for information transfer between systems via the telecommunications standard known as the Open Systems Interconnection (osi). The development of the Office of Library Program's leadership role in interlibrary cooperation, especially in the application of federal funding to inter- and intra-state cooperative programs for resource sharing, is also described. A concluding statement briefly discusses a number of issues currently involved in networking, and 10 recommendations are offered for the guidance of the Office of Library Programs in working toward the development of an underlying information infrastructure parallel with the telecommunications infrastructure being created by the National Science Foundation (nsf) and other federal agencies.
