Abstract
Computers came early into the library world, and their use is extensive both in libraries and in library and information studies (LIS) education. Paradoxically, there is little use of CAL, partly because LIS education forms too small a market, but mainly because LIS educators believe that it is their duty to introduce their students to real-world software. However, there are prospects for increased computer use in the following categories: (i) training in basic computing skills; (ii) training of students of all subjects in information skills and library use; (iii) training of LIS students in real-life library and information systems, by using simulations and tutorials; (iv) use of the academic network for distance learning, especially by part-time students.
