Education and training for librarianship and information services in the UK: A broad overview of some trends and issues

Abstract

Examines the envisaged expansion of research activity in librarianship and information services (LIS) in the UK as a result of the nationalization of the higher education system. Looks at possible exacerbation of sensitive areas already existing in the relationship between LIS schools and the profession which they serve. Despite a professed commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in LIS, revolutionary changes will have to be faced and those schools unwilling to adapt may consequently fall by the wayside.
