SPECIAL LIBRARY AND INFORMATION TRAINING In The MIDLANDS Available to Purchase

In 1958 a number of librarians and information officers in the Midlands met informally with the staff of the Birmingham School of Librarianship to discuss what could be done, at a local level, to train their staff in the technique of librarianship and information work. This is not to suggest that the information bureaux and special libraries in the area are staffed by unqualified amateurs. On the contrary we are fortunate in having a considerable number of highly qualified librarians and information officers in the area. Their interest and enthusiasm in the Scheme of Training is an indication of this.
