Introducing multimedia technology: Setting up a new course for librarians

Abstract

Outlines the establishment of a course in multimedia technology, which forms part of the curriculum for librarians at the Royal School of Librarianship in Copenhagen, Denmark. The course is organized by the cataloguing and classification department and is presented to final‐year students; it is based on the use of already known theories in classification and cataloguing for structuring multimedia applications. An important part of the course is the creation of a multimedia workstation allowing students to work with the hardware and software required.
