The Division wishes to thank the many persons who provided us the informationpresented here, both narrative and statistical. Among those allowing time in their schedules tocomplete forms and provide background information are the libraries associated with major state level library resourceinstitutions; academic, special and public libraiians who file annual reports with the Division; intertypelibrary associa- tion personnel; and David Hoffman, associated with the Task Force on LibraryManpower and Education. Unfortunately, because of publication deadlines, the section of the Service Record'devoted to school in- structional media centers is not included in this publication. It is expected that nextyear'ervIce Record will again include a school librarychapter. 1 The new Service Record is-sto be viewed as c4mplementary to the currentedition of the Comprehensive Long-Range Program for Library Services in Wisconsin.
