Nkhoma-Wamunza, Alice G.2016-10-042016-10-042001Wamunza, A.N., 2001. Library education in the new millenium.http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11810/4341Library education has undergone major changes over the years. For example basic entry requirements into graduate professional library schools have shifted from a mere (high school) diploma to a first degree. These changes are driven by the need to enhance the quality of library education programmes, teaching methodologies, teaching staff and students admitted into these programmes. This paper discusses the challenges facing library education and training at graduate level. The paper argues that in the twenty first century library education will have to respond not only to technological challenges but also to current job-market demands and needs. In view of this what is taught must be relevant and must reflect existing situations and job-market demands. Regular curriculum review, assessment and evaluation are viewed as crucial in improving the quality of library education and therefore must be and integral part of it.enJournal Article, Peer Reviewed
