Narrative Evaluation Report on the Institute for Training in Librarianship.
Chang, Henry C.
A ten week in-service program for public and school librarians was offered in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the purpose of upgrading the quality of librarianship and library services. Thirty-five participants from various parts of the Virgin Islands took part in the program which consisted of Saturday workshops and lectures during the week. Basic information in specific subject areas was received and new developments in the field were introduced. Library facilities in St. Croix, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico were visited as part of the program. Results of student and faculty evaluations and exams given throughout the program were favorable. Major problems included the diversified background and expectations of participants, time constraints, isolation and geographical separation, and administrative separation. The instructional staff, open communication between staff and participants, the workshops on media, and field trips were among the strengths which contributed to the overall success of the program. Student and faculty program evaluations, exams, and course descriptions are appended. (AP)
