  • Post-Master's Education for Middle and Upper-Level Personnel in Libraries and Information Centers. Final Report, Phase I. Kortendick, James J. Stone, Elizabeth W. Curriculum Development Educational Programs Higher Education Librarians Library Education Professional Continuing Education Professional Education A major way of upgrading the profession of librarianship is through a post-master's education program. This data base for the curriculum development of such a program utilized two data-gathering instruments: (1) a questionnaire and (2) interviews. The data are presented under three-headings: (1) questionnaire results, Chapters III, IV, V and VI; (2) interview results, Chapter VII and (3) summary, conclusions and recommendations for further study, Chapter VIII. Summarized, the conclusions were: (1) the program should use an interdisciplinary approach, (2) a systems format should be used in planning and implementing the program, (3) the approach should be practical and based in the library school, (4) multi-media approach to instruction should be used, (5) motivational factors should be used to reach a substantial number of librarians and (6) the program should be offered on a part-time basis for financial reasons. Tables and graphs are used to illustrate the information gathered. (NH)
