Abstract	To prepare for an increased interest in Black Studies, Afro-American Culture, and materials about the disadvantaged, the Institute on the Selection, Organization and Use of Materials By and About the Negro conducted a concentrated six-week program for 26 academic librarians. The main objective was to prepare the participants to select, organize and disseminate materials on the Negro and to coordinate the services of the library with the requirements of new curricular and research programs at the area. A highly qualified staff of lecturers dealt with four specific topics: 1) selection and utilization of Negro resource materials; 2) organization and preservation of special collection materials; 3) bibliography of the Negro; and 4) administration of Negro collections. Field trips, readings, and interdisciplinary seminars were provided. The evaluations of the participants and staff showed that the institute accomplished its purpose. However, two major weaknesses were found; the programs were too full, allowing insufficient time for reading and individual projects; the interdisciplinary approach made some participants less interested in the lecture topics. (Appended are lists of participants, a proposal for a publication of the Association of African-American Bibliography, and handbook for the Organization of Black Materials. (Author)
