JCL ACADEMIC YEAR INSTITUTE

Recruitment assistance is being sought by Appalachian State University to find participants for the academic year institute for Junior College Librarians which has been funded under Title IIB, HEA. Designed to develop twenty new professionals with strength in the Learning Resource concept and familiarize them with the philosophy of the community junior college, the session will run from September 1969-July 1970. The program leads to the M.A. degree in Library Science. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree and have completed at least nine quarter hours (six semester hours) of basic undergraduate work in Library Science. The stipend for each participant will be $75 a week plus $15 a week for each dependent. Most fees will be paid from the grant. Applications for admission must be on file by June 1, 1969.

In the summer of 1970, twenty additional participants will join the group. Only full-time community junior college librarians are eligible to apply for this phase of the institute, during which a series of “mini-courses” designed to familiarize students with current trends and practices in automation, multimedia utilizations, and management techniques will be presented by visiting lecturers and the Appalachian staff. Stipends are the same as for the earlier part of the program. Applications for admission to this portion must be on file by June 1, 1970.
