The ‘SHEFFIELD REPORT’ Available to Purchase

The background to the ‘Sheffield Report’ on Education and training for scientific and technological library and information work is probably well known to most members of this audience, for many of you have contributed to it by answering our questionnaires and letters, by allowing us to visit your units and by submitting your views on various aspects of our inquiry. The scope of the report is, I hope, clear from its title. Its raison d'être can be found in the results of the OSTI survey of staff employed in scientific information work, carried out by Mr A. P. J. Edwards and published in 1966.
