Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1974 Adult Stud Program Instituted At Salt Lake City Public Library Culinary Arts Program Moves To Utah Techs Main Campus The Salt Lake City Public has begun a new service for library patrons. After two years of training and planning, the library is now prepared to serve individuals who wish to learn independently. This service will consist of individual guidance by trained personnel who will help direct, plan, and motivate an informal course of study in any area selected by the patron. All a person has to do is come to the Main Library, 209 East Fifth South, and indicate an interest in this program. The Salt Lake City Public Library was selected to be one of eleven libraries throughout the nation to participate in the Adult Independent Study Program and Guidance Projects. This pilot program in adult independent study is being offered because recent research indicates that thousands of adults want to learn more about something but do not want to, or cannot, enroll in formal educational institutions. The Commission on Study, jointly sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board and the Educational Testing Service, spent three years investigating and assessing the educational situation of adults. In addition to the adults who are working in an independent, planned way to meet their learning objectives, there are many adults who have interests that are not being actively pursued. In some cases, this inactivity is a result of a lack of knowledge concerning the learning resources in their respective communities. Another finding of this survey was that the adult who has a learning need and chooses not to saeisfy it through a formal educational experience has not had available the educational planning and the information support services provided to individuals enrolled in a formal program. Historically, the library has been a central information resource in the community and librarians have always been resource persons in advising many independent learners on finding, selecting, and using the wealth of learning materials housed in the public library as part of the readers advisory and reference services offered by the library. The Salt Lake Public Library has become involved with the Adult Independent Study Program because it has always perceived education as one of the librarys primary functions and because it feels that the library, with its resources, training and staff, is well equipped to serve learner. the The Adult Independent Study Program is, to a large extent, an expansion and intensification of services already provided by the library. The library has always helped the individual who is studying independently or seeking information through the readers advisory and reference and research services offered by the library. These services will, of course, continue. The services offered as part of the Adult Independent Study Program will, however, be more comprehensive in nature. Service to the Independent Learner will entail a more formal interview requiring more information; an attempt will be made to decide if the library is the right institution to serve the learner or if he should be directed elsewhere; and it will re Non-Tradition- non-traditio- . nal al quire greater and more extended dialogue between the learner and the consultant (librarian). The role of the librarian working with the independent learner is not to teach but rather to help the adult learner set goals that will meet his needs and then, through guidance, help him select the materials and the course of study that will best help him in reaching his goals. The library does not intend to duplicate other educational institutions and will not offer credit. However, for the individual who wishes to study independently f?r college credit, the library will direct him in taking tests such as the CLEP tests to establish credit for the knowledge he has gained. The Salt Lake City Public Library hopes to provide an al- ternative to tradiitional tion, through the Adult educaInde- pendent Study Program, for those adults who wish to know how about a wide variety of subjects ranging from the academic to the practical in nature by providing the guidance and resources which were formerly unavailable to the independent learner. The program is designed to eliminate those factors which prevent adults from pursuing an educational project and to provide the services and reinforcement leading to successful independent learning. This program is offered free of charge at the Salt Lake City Public Library, 209 East Fifth South, as part of our continuing effort to meet the cultural, recreational, educational, and informational needs of the Salt Lake community.
