The standards are presented in eight chapters: (1) The State and Statewide Library Development; (2) The State and Financing Library Programs; (3) Statewide Development of Resources; (4) The State and Information Networks; (5) Library Services to State Government; (6) Organization of State Library Services; (7) Personnel; and (8) Physical Facilities for State Library Services. A brief introduction to each chapter discusses the area involved, and each of the 67 formal standards statements is followed by comments or a brief discussion of factors involved in the standard's implementation. Additional clarification of specific standards is provided by two appendices: State and Local History--The State's Responsibility for Collection and Care; and The Relationship and Responsibilities of the State Library Agency to State Institutions.
