World Trends in Library Education.
Bramley, Gerald
Current trends in library education in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Scandinavian countries, the Soviet Union, and the German Democratic Republic are surveyed. The problems of educating librarians in the developing countries in general and the specific problems in Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Uganda are analyzed. American contributions towards library education in Taiwan, Iran, Thailand, and the Philippines are described. Other topics covered are: (1) the role of the library school in research, publication, and student employment; (2) an evaluation of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs; (3) the new teaching techniques in library administration, reference, and cataloging courses; and (4) the curriculum needs of the information specialist and the school librarian.
