This regional approach would utilize the southern campuses of the University of California as instructional sites. Key aspects of the program would be the utilization of librarians from these campuses as adjunct lecturers, establishment of intern sites at the various campuses and the use of teleconferencing for specific courses. The organizational concept of teaching libraries provides an excellent framework for addressing the problems of recruitment, curriculum and research with respect to Latinos and librarian-ship.

Target of Opportunity Kits should be creatively utilized to attract Latino ladder rank faculty.

Continuing education efforts should encourage Latino practitioners to consider additional training and may interest them in continuing their library education in such areas as automation, management, or systems work.

An affirmative action policy statement for the libraries within the UC system that would encourage the recruitment of Latino librarians at all levels, and especially at senior or decision/policy making positions should be developed. A mechanism for the identification and grooming of Latinos to assume responsible positions which are not exclusively devoted to serving minority interests should be implemented.

All librarians graduating from library schools within California should receive curricular instruction on the needs of the Latino population.

REFORMA should be recruited to assist in curricular efforts by identifying a core list of Latino reference works which faculty could consider for integration into their courses.

Continuing education/in-service training should be offered and taught by Latino librarians and educators.

The UCLA/REFORMA Mentorship Program should be strengthened.

A study of information use in Latino communities should be conducted.

A general profile of Latino library professionals should be conducted.

Collaborative work with the Chicano Studies research centers which focuses on demographic and cultural change within Latino communities should be explored by both library schools' faculty and graduate students.
