In College & Research Libraries News for 
June 1968, you may have read my descrip­
tion of the institutes conducted in 1968-69 
for academic librarians under Title II-B of 
the Higher Education Act. This title (Library 
Training and Research) authorizes grants to 
institutions of higher learning to support a 
variety of training experiences for persons who 
work in libraries. The training is intensive and 
may take a week, a semester, or a longer 
period to complete.

In 1969-70, colleges and universities through­
out the country will conduct 92 institutes for 
librarians; a complete listing may be obtained 
from the DLP. At least 16 of these institutes 
will be concerned with some phase of academic 
librarianship.

The University of Denver will offer a pro­
gram from July 22 to August 10, 1969, for 
35 professional librarians in middle manage­
ment positions; the University of Maryland 
at College Park will sponsor an institute from 
June 8 to 14 on Middle Management in the 
Library for 40 persons.

The University of California at Berkeley 
will conduct a program in law librarianship 
for 25 persons from July 7 to August 1; and 
another on Application of Reprographic Tech­
nology for 30 persons, August 4 to 29. At San 
Diego (La Jolla), the University of California’s 
institute on Book Selections and Acquisitions 
will begin August 25 and end September 5; 
it will accommodate 30 persons.

Twenty persons will attend an institute on 
Far Eastern Librarianship at the University of 
Chicago, June 20 to August 2; and 15 persons 
will study the Acquisition of Non-Western 
Library Materials for College Libraries at Co­
lumbia University, New York, from June 30 to 
August 8. Music Librarianship will be studied 
by 24 persons at North Texas State University 
at Denton from June 2 to July 12; later in 
the summer, from August 7 to 29, Kent State 
University at Kent, Ohio, will sponsor an 
institute on the Administration of Music Li­
braries for 25 persons.

At the University of Oregon, Eugene, an in­
stitute on selection and use of Library Ma­
terials for Vocational and Technical Programs 
in Commercial Colleges will be conducted for 
35 persons from June 16 to June 20; and a 
full-term academic program for 20 persons 
on Archival Works in All Types of Libraries 
will begin September 21, 1969, and end Au­
gust 14, 1970. The Appalachian State Univer­
sity, Boone, N.C., will expect 45 persons in 
its institute on Learning Resource Centers for 
Junior Colleges to begin September 4, 1969, 
and end July 10, 1970.

From June 9 to 13, 1969, Syracuse Univer­
sity at Syracuse, New York, will conduct a 
program on Effective Use of Chemical Bio­
logical Literature for 30 persons. At the Uni­
versity of Pittsburgh, the subject of Organiz­
ing and Administering Resident Libraries will 
be explored by 40 participants, August 4 to 15. 
Emory University, Atlanta, will sponsor an 
institute on Government Publications from 
August 3 to 15 and one on Operation of Edu­
cation Information Service Centers from Au­
gust 17 to 22, each for 25 persons.

In addition to those which are of interest 
to academic librarians, an institute on auto­
mation will be held at the University of South­
ern California, Los Angeles, and another at 
the Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, Ruston. 
Dates for the 6-week institute at USCLA will 
be announced later. This institute will accom­
modate 40 persons who, after completing 
their studies, “are expected to be able to go 
into libraries and assume positions of service 
and leadership in the application of automa­
tion in library process.” The one at the Lou­
isiana Polytechnic Institute at Ruston will be 
limited to 20 persons and will be conducted 
from June 14 to 27, 1970. It is “designed to 
give practicing librarians opportunity to have 
actual experience in planning and implement­
ing library automation programs.”

Some changes may be made in the dates of 
the 18 institutes, or in the number of partici­
pants. Participants will receive a stipend of 
$75 per week plus $15 for each dependent; 
travel expenses must be paid by the participant. 
Each school selects candidates for stipend 
awards.

Entrance requirements and application 
forms must be obtained from the school spon­
soring the institute. ■ ■
