crl-12992	Cassata, Mary B.	Proceedings, First CLENE Assembly, Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois, January 23-24, 1976; Continuing Education Opportunities for Library, Information, and Media Personnel, January 1, 1976-December 31, 1976 (Book Review)	1977-05-01	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1260	59	58	They are roughly divided into four major content areas: ( 1) a key- note address by Richard Dougherty and Janice Powell in which the authors pose the question: Is librarianship one of the en- dangered professions? and in which they look to both library administration and staff to orchestrate and correlate the goals of the individual with and to the goals of the li- brary; ( 2) self-assessment presentations in which continuing education biggies, such as James Liesener, Ruth Patrick, Mary El- len Michael, Duane Webster, and Grover Andrews, present various models for con- tinuing education programs, career plan- ning, and self-development strategies, complete with the suggestion that the li- brary's role in the educational program of the institution and the community might well become the point of focus for a non- traditional self-study; ( 3) a Model for As- sessing Continuing Education Needs of a Profession, by Malcolm Knowles, in which the author views the impending obsoles- Recent Publications I 259 cence of man as the next century's greatest threat to civilization; and ( 4) summaries of small discussion groups that capture the essence of all of the topics included above, in addition to such pragmatic concerns as developing the criteria for evaluating con- tinuing education programs and financing CLENE. The tone of the Proceedings of this first CLENE Assembly is sharp and clean: If libraries are to survive as agencies of infor- mation amid a jungle of other fiercely com- peting institutions clawing to usurp their place, then librarians need to reassess both the organizational goals of their libraries and their own career goals and shift quickly into high gear, which would direct them away from the concept that the one-year MLS degree is educationally sufficient for survival to the concept that their education must be lifelong.	cache/crl-12992.pdf	txt/crl-12992.txt
