Institute Director Laurence L. Sherrill created or compiled the records, which include his general files containing correspondence, memos, and newsletters concerning curriculum development, funding, staffing, and workshops. The collection also contains numerous evaluation, funding, and planning reports, and some information on the lawsuit filed by five participants against the Institute and SLIS concerning their ineligibility for taking regular SLIS courses. There are no access restrictions on the materials, and the collection is open to all members of the public in accordance with state law. However, the researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection. The files are organized alphabetically by personal name, or subject, then chronologically.
Files can contain a variety of materials, including correspondence, staff memos, and reports.
