Abstract

What to do about preparing librarians for handling nonbook media has been the most vexing problem to face the library schools in the past five years. Or has it Janet Andrew's plea that nonbook materials should be treated as what they aregenuine library materialsdeserving of attention throughout any course designed to educate or train librarians produced, in the same issue of Audiovisual librarian in which it appeared, a response from the educators themselves to be accurate, from ten of the fifteen schools to whom the preprint of the article was circulated, and from an eleventh in a subsequent issue. Some respondents outlined their school's policies others questioned the validity of Ms Andrew's criticisms. If anything emerged from the debate, it was that that there is no consensus as to whether or not librarianship education should take special account of nonbook media, or if so, how this should be carried out.
