  • Resources and Procedures for Improving the Indian American Use of Libraries. Smith, Lotsee Patterson, Ed. American Indians Cultural Awareness Cultural Enrichment Curriculum Human Relations Institutes (Training Programs) Institutional Libraries Library Material Selection Library Services Motivation Program Improvement Public Libraries Resource Materials This resources booklet represents the contribution of 28 participants involved in a library institute held at the University of Oklahoma in July of 1970. A special effort was made to make the booklet practical for the librarian serving the Indian American. It is noted that curriculum in the schools is a total environment involving a relationship between the teacher, the learner, the materials, and the librarian. The group felt it was their concern that this relationship adequately meet its responsibility to the Indian student. This booklet is offered to help the librarian meet this challenge by becoming aware of special needs and by offering culturally relevant materials and extended services. The booklet also includes suggestions and recommendations in other related areas for the purpose of improving human relations. (EJ)
