The instruction program should have adequate 
funds identified to attain the stated goals of the 
program. The funding for an instruction pro­
gram should cover all personnel costs con­
nected with the program, including but not lim­
ited to student, clerical, and technical assistance. 
The funding should cover supplies and materi
als; equipment or access to equipment; design, 
production, reproduction, and revision of ma­
terials; promotion and evaluation of the instruc­
tion program; as well as other identified costs. 
The allocation process should allow for equip­
ment and software replacement and enhance­
ment as changes occur. The funding should 
provide for training and continuing education 
of those involved in the instruction program.

Nonmonetary support for continuing staff de­
velopment helps to establish an atmosphere 
conducive to innovation and high morale. It is 
recommended that the library: provide staff 
members with a written description of the scope 
of their instructional responsibilities; provide a 
structured program for orientation and training 
of new instruction personnel (see the publica­
tion L earning to Teach for suggestions); and

develop a program of continuing education or 
make available continuing education opportu­
nities.
