LIBRARY EDUCATION IN THE THIRD WORLD: SOME PERSONAL COMPARISONS

Abstract

Unless LR editorial policies have changed, I believe that it will be appropriate to make a contribution based on personal experience which, in my case, includes fourteen years spent overseas. These notes, therefore, if they fall within a subject field at all can be regarded as comparative librarianship, the comparison being mainly with Britain. What, I have asked myself, are the main areas of difference in our teaching experiences? I am writing as an expatriate in post‐independence countries who has been responsible for setting up library schools.
