- Library Management Institute: Final Performance Report. Academic Libraries Employer Employee Relationship Institutes (Training Programs) Library Administration Library Education Management Development Postsecondary Education Professional Continuing Education Supervisory Training Sponsored by the Department of Education under Title II-B, Library Career Training Institute, Ponce Technical University College's Library Management Institute was intended to improve the supervisory skills of 30 librarians of the University of Puerto Rico's Regional Colleges Administration. The institute consisted of eight continuing education courses from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL); these courses focused on management theories and skills, specific communication skills, methods of supervising student assistants, ways of resolving conflicts while being aware of the possible benefits of conflict, time management skills, ways to increase the effectiveness of meetings, alternatives to performance evaluations, and ways to prepare staff for changes in the library. The use of previously designed courses was a unique aspect of the project and significantly reduced development costs. This report provides general data on the project, a narrative report, a financial status report, and 17 appendices. The appendices, which make up the bulk of the report, contain correspondence about the institute; a brochure describing the institute; an application for participation and a letter of acceptance; copies of contracts for professional services (in Spanish); the course schedule; lists of participants in various activities; an announcement of the institute in various publications in both English and Spanish; copies of course evaluation and follow-up evaluation questionnaires; and detailed analyses of the responses to the questionnaires.
