Abstract: This paper examines the nature of the pressures experienced, and the problems that may arise, in the establishment of library schools within the framework of the multidisciplinary third level institution. The emphasis is upon the new school situation. An examination is made of the external relationships which develop between the school, the clientele and the host institution. Reference is also made to those key components within the school itself, staff and students, and the impact they have upon school development. Specific mention is made of two areas of school involvement, where opposing pressures, and consequently problems, may be encountered, …i.e. in the design of the school programme and in the provision of resources.

Abstract: A system (SOCRATE) has been used in Spain since 1978 to re-transmit searches from the searching terminal to a second, remote terminal, where an end user or an inexperienced searcher (or both together) can observe the development of the search strategy and interact with the search. Certain operative requirements have slowed its adoption, but at CIDC it has proved very useful to send searches to other parts of Spain. In such cases, the end user establishes telephone contact with CIDC rather than directly with the host. The article describes SOCRA TE and comments upon its strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract: This paper describes a librarianship course taken by trainee teachers at the Kenya Science Teachers College (KSTC). It argues the importance of libraries in the fight against illiteracy and the role of the school in introducing children to books. Schools should therefore include trained and qualified librarians. It also describes the course on School Librarianship at KSTC.
