To improve the American Indian use of libraries, the Library Science Institute at the University of Oklahoma conducted a three-week program for 28 librarians. The purpose of the Institute was to help the participants understand the Indian--his academic, social, economic, and personal problems. The participants were exposed to problems and their possible solutions in the form of lectures, audiovisual and printed materials. Through many field trips, they also observed Indian history and culture. The participants compiled a handbook of ideas for the librarian working with Indian students. (The publication is attached to the present report.) The effectiveness of the program was evaluated on the bases of staff comments, participants' responses to a questionnaire, and the director's observations. In general, it was agreed that the program achieved its purpose. The participants proposed the establishment of a similar institute of wider scope on a permanent basis. (CH)
