- Narrative Evaluation Report on the Institute for: Law Librarianship. July 8, 1968 - August 2, 1968. Henke, Dan F. Cataloging Classification Computers Institutes (Training Programs) Law Libraries Librarians Libraries Library Acquisition Library Automation Library Education Library Equipment Library Science Library Skills Library Technical Processes Program Descriptions Program Evaluation Summer Programs A four-week institute on law librarianship provided 35 librarians with the opportunity to study the specialized skill and knowledge requirements of law librarianship and to learn to solve the organizational and administrative problems law librarians face. A combination of lectures and field trips exposed the participants to the following topics: 1) cataloging and classification; 2) acquisitions; 3) the administration of law libraries; 4) legal research; 5) legal education and the law library; 6) automation and computer applications in the law library; and 7) equipment and supplies. Evaluation indicated that the major objectives were attained and that the institute profited from the mix of theoretical concepts and practical applications provided by a team of faculty members drawn from different institutions. It was also learned that the heterogeneity of the students made teaching difficult; it was concluded that future institutes would be more effective if they dealt more intensively with the substantive issues of law librarianship and less with automation and computerization.
