Richard, Richard! Despite a new president, the American Hospital Association hopes the secret to continued success is staying the same.

Richard Umbdenstock arrives at his new position at the American Hospital Association with a definite agenda: Stay the course. "Continuity is a priority of the first order," says Umbdenstock, left, who was the only candidate considered for the president's job. "One of the reasons he was selected was because we felt the AHA was on the right path and doing well and we wanted the course to stay the same," says AHA Chairman-elect Kevin Lofton.

"AND GLADLY TEACH": THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION'S EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING INSTITUTES ON HOSPITAL LIBRARIANSHIP.

As part of its overall educational program, the American Hospital Association has since 1959 conducted three institutes on hospital librarianship to meet the demand for more competent librarians in medical, nursing school, and patients' libraries. The purpose of such institutes is to teach the basic elements of library science to untrained personnel in hospital libraries. Discussed are steps in initiating an institute; factors determining length, date, and place; financing; publicity; choice and responsibility of local advisory committee; program content; qualifications of instructors; characteristics of registrants; materials for distribution; evaluations. Details of the most recent institute are outlined. A summary of problems still facing this type of educational program and suggestions for future improvements conclude the paper.
