Graduate Library School Institute THE topic of the thirteenth annual institute of the Graduate Library School of the Uni-versity of Chicago will be "Education f o r Librarianship." T h e institute will be held at the university during the week of Aug. 16-21, 1948. Although the institute will deal with problems in the education of librarians, it will by no means be limited in interest or in relevance to the staff members of library schools. It is also intended for the practitioners in librarianship and is being planned for the profession as a whole, since the entire profession is affected by the educational programs adopted by the schools. Both practitioners and educators will contribute to the program. T h e institute will deal with such topics as the place of professional education in the uni- versity, the relationship between education f o r librarianship and education for other professions, the preprofessional background of librarians, the content of basic library training and training in special fields, and the state of advanced training and research in librarianship. T h e detailed list of topics and speakers will be announced soon.
