Emphasis in the institute curriculum was placed on developing basic library skills, including library materials acquisition, classification, circulation, reference, and use of audiovisual equipment. The training schedule included an orientation period, skills workshops, field trips, guest speakers, and a week of field assignments at the participants' own information centers. The staff made follow-up visits to each of the six sites where participants were located, and the institute was evaluated by instructors, participants, and an outside evaluator. Included in the report are a detailed schedule of classes, assignments given to the participants, relevant correspondence, and evaluation results. (SW) |
