THE IMPACT OF OPEN LEARNING ON THE EDUCATION OF SUB‐PROFESSIONAL LIBRARY STAFF

It is now over 4 years since the Library and Information Science Open Learning Project at Telford College in Edinburgh began developing open learning courses for sub‐professional staff in library and information work. Since 1982, 315 students have enrolled on these open learning courses. The current enrolment figure is in excess of 200 (January 1987).
