You have probably read in your state li­
brary or state association publications the an­
nouncements of awards to library education 
programs. These awards will enable library 
educators to conduct institutes for intensive 
training to upgrade and update the compe­
tencies of persons serving all types of libraries. 
These institutes are funded under authority of 
Title II-B  of the Higher Education Act and 
vary in length from two weeks to a semester 
or more. At least fifteen of them are related 
to some phase of academic librarianship.

The University of California offers two-week 
programs in map librarianship or oral history 
at its Los Angeles campus, and a month-long 
institute in law librarianship at Berkeley. In­
stitute participants at the University of Mary­
land, College Park, will study the automation 
of bibliographical services. The University of 
Hawaii, Honolulu, offers a six-week institute

on Asian materials for college libraries. At the 
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, one may 
study junior and community college librarian­
ship for six weeks. Participants in the Uni­
versity of Oregon’s program at Eugene will 
work part-time from summer to midwinter on 
mechanization in technical services and circu­
lation areas of the library. In April, the Uni­
versity of Washington, Seattle, will offer a two- 
week program on library executive develop­
ment, and in June 1969, the University of 
Wisconsin, Madison, will offer a two-week 
study of bibliographic services in East Asian 
studies. These are examples of the sixty-three 
institutes being offered; a complete listing may 
be obained from the D L SE F.

There is a $75 a week stipend plus $15 for 
each dependent during the institute period; 
no travel money is included. It is suggested 
that you begin planning quickly, as some of 
these institutes start in the middle of June. If 
you cannot attend an institute, perhaps you 
have a friend who should be encouraged to go. 
Any person who has been or is engaged in 
librarianship, or who has an undergraduate or 
graduate degree in library science may apply. 
Information, admission requirements, and ap­
plication forms for institutes should be ob­
tained from the school offering the program. ■ ■
