Fortbildungsbedarf und Fortbildungsangebote im Bereich: Bibliothekswesen, Information und Dokumentation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und Berlin (West) (The Need for and Availability of Further Education in the Librarianship/Information and Documentation Field in West Germany and West Berlin).
Simon, Hans-Reiner
This investigation into the availability of and demand for further educational measures in library and information science indicates that obvious discrepancies exist, with demand exceeding availability in the following areas: EDP (electronic data processing) use; criteria for selection for EDP use; online use, including retrieval and database supply; and the uses and effects of new media. It is noted that the continual development of new course offerings cannot eliminate these discrepancies; trends indicate an increase in the number of introductory courses being offered in areas such as EDP, long-distance data transmission, and new media, although introductory-level courses typically show no high potential for demand. University and college training that integrates research and development (R&D) results into the curriculum are discussed, with attention also given to university and college graduates with specialized knowledge including EDP and new media, and job prospects for librarians. The text is supplemented with 12 tables and 11 figures, and a 10-item bibliography is provided. (KM))
