Part 2 includes papers on users (results of questionnaires, interviews, and site visits), materials and publishers (including braille, large type materials, and music services); reading aids and devices; state programs from the perspective of a state librarian; and the National Library Service Network. Part 3 presents four papers on the following topics: school library media services, public libraries (services for the blind and physically handicapped); academic library services (facility accessibility, financial considerations); and training and research in librarianship. The final section shifts to an international orientation; the papers in this section focus on developments in library services for blind and physically handicapped persons in other countries and international cooperation.

State of Change
Author: Courtenay W. Daum
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 1607320878
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Colorado has recently been at the center of major shifts in American politics. Indeed, over the last several decades the political landscape has altered dramatically on both the state and national levels. State of Change traces the political and demographic factors that have transformed Colorado, looking beyond the major shift in the dominant political party from Republican to Democratic to greater long-term implications. The increased use of direct democracy has resulted in the adoption of term limits, major reconstruction of fiscal policy, and many other changes in both statutory and constitutional law. Individual chapters address these changes within a range of contexts--electoral, political, partisan, and institutional--as well as their ramifications. Contributors also address the possible impacts of these changes on the state in the future, concluding that the current state of affairs is fated to be short-lived. State of Change is the most up-to-date book on Colorado politics available and will be of value to undergraduate- and graduate-level students, academics, historians, and anyone involved with or interested in Colorado politics.
