The primary objective of this program is to assist each of the participating Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) states in developing a long-range continuing education program for library personnel. The means for accomplishing this objective are: to develop an integrated program, utilizing a variety of educational methods, which will provide a continuity of educational experiences for library personnel and to develop a regional organizational structure for initiating and continuing long-range coordinated programming of educational activities for library personnel in the WICHE states. The proposed four-year plan (July, 1969 to June, 1973) will have four periods: (1) a transitional stage (July, 1969-December, 1969)-- to provide immediate means of meeting some of the priority needs of the states and to recruit and train program associates; (2) phase one (January, 1970-December, 1971)--program director will implement an overall organizational structure and supportive activities; (3) phase two (January, 1972-December, 1972)--state level staff and program with a State Director in each state supplemented by continuing regional educational activities and (4) evaluation stage (January, 1973-June, 1973)--final evaluation of the accomplishments and impact of the total program to determine future direction.
