Library Education in Jew Jersey, Report and Recommendations of a Study.
Palmer, David C., Ed.
In July 1971 a need was articulated for a thorough review of educational opportunities and inter-institutional practices, and for a total articulated system to effectively serve the needs of New Jersey in the area of education for librarianship. This report of the Conference on Library Education, held on May 25, 1972, contains recommendations for immediate action and long range development to meet the stated needs of library education. It is recommended for immediate action that: (1) an advisory state council for library education be appointed; and (2) inter-institutional programs for curriculum quality control, transferability of credit, and geographical availability of appropriate education for library, media, and information professions be encouraged. Long range recommendations are: (1) review certification requirements, (2) revise existing guidelines for undergraduate programs, (3) review and update professional library certification requirements, and (4) update library/media technical assistants program criteria. A library manpower study done for the Conference is appended to the report. (SJ)
