| contents | Second Survey of Library and Information Manpower Needs in the Caribbean, Volume I. The Survey and Its Findings. Greene, Gloria Robb, Reive Developing Nations Educational Resources Employment Statistics Information Services Labor Needs Labor Supply Libraries Library Education Models Needs Assessment Occupational Surveys Paraprofessional Personnel Prediction Professional Education Professional Personnel Questionnaires The main concerns of this manpower survey were to examine and, where possible, modify and expand on the manpower planning model generated in the 1982 pilot study, and to use the model to assist with the forecasting of manpower requirements for library and information systems in the Caribbean region. Libraries and information systems in this area generally face a major recruitment and training problem. Two solutions are proposed: (1) ensure that paraprofessionals are more formally incorporated into the library systems, or (2) give priority to the training and recruitment of professionals. Encouraging a movement of critical skills could reduce the relatively high rates of vacancies in specific types of libraries in various countries, and emphasis on short, specialized courses and graduate training abroad will continue to supplement regional library school programs. Increased automation, sharing of resources, and creating more effective lobbies will enhance manpower capabilities. The statistical findings and survey instruments are provided in five appendices. A glossary, a map, geographic statistics, footnotes, and a bibliography are also included. (KM) |
