This institute was designed to retrain ten teachers representing minority populations to serve as school librarians in their communities. The final report describes the goals and objectives of the program; selection and performance criteria for the program's participants; curriculum--course descriptions, requirements, required and independent readings and assignments; special activities; faculty members, financial expenditures; and the evaluation process. Although a formal team evaluation was conducted, it is not included in this report. Bibliographies and a vocabulary handbook developed by participants in the program are described in the related documents. (JPF)
