In 1972, the Maryland School for the Blind conducted a survey of employers in the state to determine how many blind persons were employed (and in what kinds of jobs) and employer attitudes toward hiring the handicapped. Former students of the school were surveyed to determine their feelings about the vocational education they received at the school and their suggestions for changes and improvements. Using this data, a pilot vocational education program was planned. Later phases of the project will include establishing the pilot program in the school and, based on that experience, setting up a comprehensive vocational education center there.

Issue Content

The problem of working with library personnel is among the most discussed issues in the professional community over several decades. The analysis of publications and reports of public libraries has showed that the list of main topical problems has not changed for years; changes have mainly touched the issue content: the state of vocational education (infrastructure state and development, training quality, students outflow to other professions, interaction of universities and libraries as employers; professional development; the professional culture loss and degradation; the personnel management state; the profession image; the professional community rigidity; information lack on issues of working with personnel. As the most of these problems remain unsolved for several decades, it is possible to characterize the state of studying and taking measures to eliminate them as poorly satisfactory.

The National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution undertook a research project to determine what could be done to enable visually handicapped persons to benefit from the museum's resources. Programs currently of interest to the blind were advertised, with maps of touchable objects throughout the museum made available. In addition, books about the Smithsonian have been brailled, cassette tours of individual halls prepared, exhibit designers encouraged to include more touchable objects in their displays, and docents given special training in how to relate to and guide blind persons. Further sources of information appear at the end of this article.
