Abstract

ABSTRACTBased on a 1992 study of serials education and serials librarianship funded by the Australian Serials Special Interest Group of ALIA and the Centre for Information Studies at Charles Sturt University, this paper presents a profile of serials education in Australian library schools, comparing this with practitioner perceptions of their professional and para-professional training. The study draws conclusions that are of value to both practitioners and educators concerned with education for serials librarianship. The full research report (‘I Never Asked for This Job’: A Study of Serials Librarians and Serials Education in Australia. CIS Research Reports, 1) is available from the Centre for Information Studies, Locked Bag 660, Wagga Wagga 2678.
