| contents | The Role of the Public Library in Retraining People Displaced by Technological Change. Hutcherson, Ethel Madge Administrator Attitudes Community Size Doctoral Dissertations Evaluation Library Services Public Libraries Research Retraining Role Perception Statistical Data Surveys Urban Areas A study was made to determine what library administrators think is the role of public libraries in retraining of adults, what libraries are doing to provide training, and how they differ when classified by size of population served. About 600 libraries serving populations of 50,000 or more were studied--age of library, location, branches, adult services coordinators, staffing, facilities, and attitudes toward the problem of technological displacement. Most of the administrators agreed that libraries should provide materials for adult basic and vocational education, develop information resources, cooperate with other community agencies, evaluate their own programs, and offer guidance and counseling materials and services. Few retraining programs were in progress or being planned; however, the larger the population base, the greater was the likelihood that certain services would be provided.
