April, 1999

Dear Members of Congress,

When the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) was enacted in 1996,the nation's libraries began a new period of cooperation and improvement. In Michigan, newfederal support for libraries built on the accomplishments of previous years with federalassistance, especially the progress made in bringing new computer technology into many ofthe smallest, least-funded school and public libraries.

Federal funding and the new initiatives provided through LSTA significantly affected theState of Michigan, as this first annual report for the new statute illustrates. The transitionhas gone well and the new LSTA appears well-suited to Michigan's library needs.

LSTA funds established a statewide contract that provides public, school, hospital andacademic libraries with use of some of the nation's leading information and referencedatabases, at no additional cost to the local library or to the end user. Some state funding hasbeen added to help expand this popular and successful service. Known as "AccessMichigan"this service is available over the Internet to residents in all parts of Michigan.

Michigan's other statewide electronic services include the Michigan Electronic Library(MEL), which continues to search out and organize reliable electronic information sources, anda digital directory of many of the Serials, Periodicals and Newspapers (SPAN) available in thestate's libraries.

The federal goal to provide assistance to those having difficulty using a library includingcitizens unable to read conventional print due to a disabling condition remains a high priority inMichigan. LSTA funds are used to locate and help those who need additional specialized libraryservices, including children in poverty.

In the following report you will find details of these statewide services to librariesand individuals, and a listing of individual subgrants made to libraries throughout Michigan.LSTA's goals are reflected in these local services.

I hope you will be impressed with the hard work and ingenuity found in the subgrantprojects. The libraries of Michigan have become partners with Congress and the Institute ofMuseum and Library Services through LSTA.

Many librarians and library trustees have asked that we convey their appreciationfor your interest and for the support shown to libraries through the Library Services andTechnology Act.

Michigan's LSTA program seeks to assist Michigan libraries in developing serviceparadigms that incorporate new technologies and models of service, while continuingto meet the service needs of traditional library users, including special populations.The 1998 Library of Michigan LSTA program identifies four major goals that aredesigned to extend and improve library services by:

Goal I Developing and funding LSTA programs in support of statewide access tothe widest possible range of information for all residents of the state throughall types of libraries.

Goal II Increasing equity of information access by providing special assistance toareas of the state where library services are inadequate (underserved ruraland urban communities), and to libraries that are working to provide serviceto persons having difficulty using a library.

Goal III Supporting the continued development of information skills throughcontinuing education on a collaborative basis statewide.

Goal IV Fostering innovation and technical improvements in information servicesby funding leading edge projects in libraries that will serve as models andtraining centers.

Toward achievement of these goals, the Library of Michigan has awarded $4,527,609in LSTA dollars for projects during this last year. Funding focused on bringingtechnology and the promise .of the Internet to the state's libraries as well as to supportservices to special populations, such as the blind and physically handicapped andchildren who live in poverty.
