SB 331, as introduced, Liu. California Library Services Act: statewide communications and delivery intranet.
The California Library Services Act establishes the California Library Services Board and provides that its duties include, among other things, adopting rules, regulations, and general policies relating to the implementation of the act. The act provides for the establishment of systems, which are defined as cooperative library systems. The act requires the California Library Services Board to establish and administer 2 or more state reference centers to be responsible for answering reference requests that cannot be met by systems and libraries participating in the programs authorized by the act.
Existing law requires the California Library Services Board to establish and maintain a statewide communications and delivery network between and among systems, state reference centers, independent public libraries, and all other libraries participating in the programs authorized by the act.
This bill would instead require the California Library Services Board to establish and maintain a statewide communications and delivery intranet, rather than network, which may also be accessed by public elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 18766 of the Education Code is amended
