- Recommendations for Improving Library Media Training and Services in Rural Indian Communities. Higgins, Norman Smith, Lotsee American Indians Instructional Materials Learning Resources Centers Library Education Library Services Library Technicians Media Specialists Rural Education This script for an illustrated presentation describes a program for improving Library Media Education Programs for American Indians. These recommendations have been implemented in training institutes in several Pueblos in New Mexico: (1) involving community leaders in recruiting and selecting students; (2) selecting students who have successful prior experience in working with people; (3) conducting technical level training in or near the communities in which students live; (4) using regularly scheduled courses to teach technical level skills needed to operate a small library media center; (5) including practical work experience under the supervision of the instructor or library media specialist; (6) making the development of library media centers one of the instructor's responsibilities; (7) paying students for meeting clearly specified expectations in their course and on-site work; and (8) arranging follow up consultation and continued development for students and library media centers. Slides and transparencies were used to illustrate the implementation of these recommendations. (AP)
