Education for Librarianship

“The need to prepare for the future was evidenced in most of the formal papers and informal discussions. It is one thing to agree that we must plan for the future, with the only certainty being that things will be different from what they are now; it is another matter to specify just how to do this in the curriculum of a school. Several of the papers in this volume give some help to those who face this problem, and probably the most one can expect are insights, hints, suggestions, advice, and the record of the experiences of others. In this writer’s limited acquaintance with the educational process, no problem is more difficult— or more important— than how to formulate a curriculum, and especially one for a professional school”.
