| contents | Preliminary Survey of Education and Training Programmes at University Level in Information and Library Science. Foskett, D. J. Curriculum Educational Programs Foreign Countries Higher Education Information Science Library Education Library Schools Library Science Surveys Teaching Methods Training Universities Seventy schools of library and information science in 13 countries responded to a 1972 questionnaire on educational and training programs. The survey was conducted to review the current position and trends in training and education for library and information science. Respondents were questioned on the need for change, mechanization, theory and practice, courses and curricula, and teaching methods. Based on the survey, literature, and personal contact, the study concluded that: (1) the theoretical content of courses varies considerably; (2) research programs are academic and should be tested against real life situations; (3) too little attention is paid to the social or vocational role in initial courses and at the research level; (4) international and comparative studies rarely exist; (5) more attention should be given to overall structure of courses; (6) most teaching staffs are professionals and need a teaching course; and (7) the better use of audiovisual aids needs investigation. The report includes descriptive summaries of the 13 countries--Czechoslovakia, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Scandinavia, Iceland, United Kingdom and British Commonwealth, United States and Canada, Latin America, Japan, and the USSR--and a detailed analysis of replies to questions.
