INTRODUCTION

This Directory of Cooperative Reference Service Programs hasbeen compiled by the Cooperative Reference Services Committee of theReference Services Division of the'American Library Association asan initial attempt to answer the need to provide basic informationand sources of additional information about such programs. The pro-ject received the approval not only of the Board of Directors of theReference Services Division, but also the encouragement of severalExecutive Secretaries of other ALA divisions.

Most of the information was collected during the year 1970/71by contacting the state librarians or equivalent officers of the var-ious states. In some cases, the questionnaires were forwarded to ad-ministrators of programs other than those administered by the states.After collecting the data, the project was delayed because it appearedthat the information might become available in other sources. However,this was not the case and a decision was made at the Midwinter, 1972,meeting to proceed with publication.

The list is arranged alphabetically by state and then by the nameof the cooperative activity. In an effort to make the entries more con-sistent, some information has been rearranged or deleted. However, mostof the information has been used as provided in the completed question-naire. A copy of the form letter and questionnaire is attached as anappendix.

The Chairman wishes to thank Ruth White and Andrew Hansen, ExecutiveSecretaries of the Reference Services Division and the following membersof the Cooperative Reference Services Committee who have assisted withthe compilation of the directory:

Mrs. Mildred A. BarrettMrs. Evelyn P. BentonMary Ann DugganMrs. Sylvia G. FaibisoffPhoebe F. HayesF. Joan Kirwin

Mary T. JanowskiPhilip B. GerrardDavid McKayMrs. Adelle J. McMillanArthur H. MillerMrs. Rita L. Paddock

George M. Bailey has served as Chairman of the Committee and hasassumed major responsibility for the directory. Any errors or additionsshould be sent to the Chairman, Cooperative Reference Services Committee,Reference Services Division, American Library Association, 50 E. HuronStreet, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

The Committee members plan to begin the compilation of current in-formation for the publication of a more complete directory during thenext year.
