Education for Library and Information Science at Kuwait University

Graduate education in library and infonnation science in Kuwait is new. A two year Masters programme started at Kuwait University during the academic year 1996/97. This paper summarises the need justification for the Masters degree in Library and Infonnation Science (MLIS) in Kuwait. It then reviews past attempts by the University to establish a library and infonnation science programme by different Colleges and administrations, as well as difficulties and accomplishments. It examines the Library and Infonnation Science Masters programme in the light of Kuwait's new and evolving needs. Its goals, requirements, curriculum, language of instruction, physical resources, and facilities are discussed. This programme is implemented with a clear vision to face the challenge of the emerging 'Infonnation Society' at the advent of the new Century.

期刊介绍： Information is widely recognized as a vital resource in economic development. The skills of information handling traditionally associated with libraries, are now in great demand in all sectors, including government, business and commerce. The education and training of information professionals is, therefore, an issue of growing significance. Education for Information has been since 1983 a forum for debate and discussion on education and training issues in the sphere of information handling. It includes refereed full-length articles and short communications on matters of current concern to educators and practitioners alike. Its News section reports on significant activities and events in the international arena.
