Hi all,
        I suggested to Kristin that I forward this question to CALIX, as
this deals primarily with public libraries (which I just did). I provided
her with the details I knew from the City to County transition in Broward
County, south Florida, in the 70s. I doubt there is much if any literature
out there. I suggested a search of Library Literature index, but I don't
know if it's still being published or whether or not it's included within
other databases. I suggested contacting public library administrators, who
would be familiar with this issue.

Hello, I am having a very hard time researching the process, history, &
advantages/disadvantages of a small, independently funded & completely
volunteer operated community library (which is also a museum in a National
Historic Registered Place) transferring its operations to the County System
such that it will become an official (and governmentally run) branch of a
county public library.

I have spent hours going over Wilson, Infotrac, & Eric databases, the
California State Library, the Internet, RLA Web Site, ALA's LAMA and PLA
indecis, etc., etc., and have come up with very little.

I have asked former professors (including Ken Dowlin, I graduated last
Summer) for nomenclature and resources for such a search and nothing
suggested has produced much.

Any ideas or comments out there?
