ABSTRACT

A survey was made of the 68 library schools with A.L.A. accreditation to ascertain the extent and types of their courses in special librarianship, in specific types of special libraries, and in specific types of literature. From the survey results it was possible to make an analysis of the extent to which these courses would serve the needs of those interested in science/technology libraries. The role of field work was also investigated. Statistics are presented on the number and types of courses offered and the type of field work available for students concerned with sci-tech librarianship.
