Library Strategic Plans - Results

[Diane Madrigal]

Since some people have expressed an interest in the information, I'm
posting a list of the URLs for strategic plans that were sent to me. (An
Alta Vista search on +"strategic plan" +library returned some additional
sites that are not listed here.)

For the people to whom I sent the list individually, on 2/9: There are three
later additions at the bottom of the list, under "Part 2".

Thanks again to all those who contributed!
