ABSTRACT
For anyone who received a graduate degree in library science beginning in 1965 through about the early 1970s, the subsequent appearance of new technologies, new standards, and new services that have become primary to technical services activities has demanded that technical services librarians participate in continuing education to be knowledgeable and current. The expansion of information and the need to access and control information effectively in all of its myriad new formats are further reasons that require that continuing education be ongoing in the technical services librarian’s career. The graduate degree may have once served a lifelong career satisfactorily, but now it is the commencement point for lifelong learning.
