Abstract | The Institute on Environmental Information Programs for Public Libraries which was held at Western Michigan University on May 7-13, 1972, brought together practicing public librarians who had been successfully coping with the service demands made on their institutions by growing concern over environmental problems. As librarians who are dealing with an increasingly serious problem of supplying information to an awakening clientele, the urgencies for this particular kind of information and the provision of services attending it did not conceal the fact that this was another kind of basic public library service that could be dealt with by using established library methods. Public librarians have in the past on many occasions responded to the public's need to know. The examples provided in this Institute of successful environmental information programs already in operation are models for action in other communities. It was made evident that the public library can rise to this challenge. This guide to the field of environmental information programs for public libraries contains these chapters: The public library and environmental information services, The selection of environmental information materials, The organization of environmental information materials, The public library and the environmental information program, and the public library's environmental information program and social responsibility. (Other Institute materials are available as LI 004 470 through 004 472.) (Author/SJ) |
