The Joint University Libraries (JUL) of Nashville, Tennessee have found that as they become increasingly complex they must make optimum use of their resources. In 1972, JUL initiated a planning effort, called Comprehensive Organizational/Operational Planning (CO/OP), designed to provide information for intelligent management decisions. Policy problems were to be addressed by a steering committee, funding problems by program budgeting, and organizational problems by a task analysis and a management review. Extensive formats were developed for the task analyses. Program elements were defined for each task in the library. These definitions and a few organizational charts are included in the appendix. (PF)
