An annual report for 1974-75 is presented by the Council on Library Resources (CLR) which was established in 1956, with funds from the Ford Foundation, to help provide solutions to significant library problems through directly administered programs, grants, and contracts with organizations and individuals. Described are CLR-supported activities in five major areas: (1) automation, networks, and national library services; (2) professional development for librarians; (3) library management and administration; (4) book and paper preservation and microform technology; and (5) improving services to users. A summary of CLR-supported projects is given in tabular form, organized alphabetically by organizations. The report also includes lists of members, committees, officers, staff, and publications as well as background information and financial statements. (LS)
