| contents | Vocational Training for Library Technicians: A Survey of Experience to Date. Martinson, John L. Community Colleges Educational Programs Educational Trends Employment Opportunities Labor Market Library Education Library Technicians Paraprofessional Personnel Recruitment Two Year Colleges Vocational Education Suggested by the shortage of personnel in biomedical libraries, this study was conducted to determine which institutions had established formal classroom training programs for library technicians. Information was obtained from 24 institutions through visits, correspondence, study of relevant documents, and interviews with administrators, teachers, students, graduates and employers. Each of the programs is examined separately, including discussion of background, student population, curriculum, reaction to program, libraries employing graduates and program faculty as well as reprints of journal articles describing the programs. It was found that most programs are offered in junior and community colleges and the majority are less than five years old. It is concluded that by standards of increase in enrollment, placement, and statements from employers and employees, these programs do appear to "work." Further research and development activity is recommended generally, while specific recommendations cover recruitment, instruct onal materials, teachertraining, operations research, job market, curriculum and evaluation. The recruitment, employment, and future direction of library technicians are examined separately, and a selected bibliography of 24 items is appended. (JB) |
