Education of Students as Users of Scientific and Technical Information in Yugoslavia (With Special Regard to Conditions in Slovenia)

Abstract

The short report on training of students as users of scientific and technical information in Yugoslavia, with special regard to conditions in the republic of Slovenia, has shown that more than half of the total number of universities have already introduced organized study of informatics/documentation based on several programmes, yet training of students, in university libraries did not become an integral part at the very beginning. The Central Technical Library at the University in Ljubljana (CTK) has been organizing noncompulsory training of students which follows recommendations of UNESCO, IATUL and IFLA, since 1972/1973. So far, training programmes for freshmen and postgraduates, library guide, lists of reference materials, several test papers, a translation of the FID manual and testing and evaluating the draft of the UNISIST manual have been done. CTK continues the work and is preparing a study for the Yugoslav UNISIST committee now
