The Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory provided technical assistance to the Northwest Indian Council on Education for a study of curriculum development for Indian occupational education. The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to provide policy suggestions for the consideration of the curriculum center; and (2) to summarize curriculum development and occupational education as it applies to Indians. This report was divided into 6 major sections. The first 3 sections presented a variety of statements which represented the diversity and breadth of the existing knowledge base. An attempt was made to present the many voices of Native Americans for education, curriculum development, and policy participation. Following the "Many Voices Speak" sections, educational programs available to Indians were described. Resources were presented (e.g., literature, organizations, audio-visual) for concerned Indians and non-Indians. Recommendations suggested a series of workshops to review the content of this study.

On May 7, 1971, the Eastern Michigan University library was host to the first annual conference on library Orientation for Academic Libraries. The purpose of the conference was to explore solutions to such problems as: how to motivate students to use the library, how to teach proper methods of research, and how to assist the faculty in the maximum usage of library resources for curriculum planning. The four papers presented at the conference are contained in this volume. "Why academic library instruction?" provides a theoretical basis for library orientation. The topic of whether a separate course in bibliography or course-related library instruction is needed is discussed in "Question: a separate course in bibliography or course-related library instruction?""Motivating students and faculty" focuses on the problem of how to encourage use of the library. The final paper, "Library orientation is reaching out to people," is a discussion of the library outreach program at Eastern Michigan University by the two orientation librarians. (Author/SJ)
