A Survey of the Attitudes, Opinions and Behavior of Citizens of Colorado with Regard to Library Services. Volume Five, Technical Summary.

The Colorado Council for Library Development commissioned a state survey to facilitate long range library planning. A survey was designed by Colorado Market Research Services, Inc. and directed to adults throughout the state to ascertain the information needs of the sample population. Citizens were queried as to the frequency of their library use, their satisfaction with library services, and the kind of library which they most often utilized--school, college, public, or special library. The focus of this document is on the design of the survey instrument, the sampling techniques used, and the way in which the results were tabulated. Appendixes comprise over half the document; the survey questionnaire, interviewer instructions, a map of the counties sampled, and a regional list of counties in the sample are included. (KC)
