The two papers in this document on social science libraries were presented at the 1984 IFLA general conference. In "Library and Continuing Education with Implications for Developing Countries: A Research Essay," David R. Bender (United States) examines factors impacting upon the skills necessary for effective librarianship in the social sciences, and the role these factors have in shaping library school curricula and continuing education programs. Among the factors identified are new technologies and changing user needs. The paper also discusses a recent study by King Research, "Library Human Resources: A Study of Supply and Demand," that reflects the magnitude of change in the employment of librarians projected through 1990 within the United States. In "The Provision of Social Science Literature and Information Services in Kenya: Availability, Accessibility, Future Prospects and Problems," J. F. Lilech (Kenya) provides an exposition of Kenya's need for social science information as an indispensable domestic resource to be mobilized by planners, policy-makers, and managers. The national need for library and information services is emphasized with references to the Current Development Plan, 1984-1988. (THC)
