Library Technology is a new term which does not only imply new library tools, furniture, and new machinery, but also new methods, new skills and above a ll, new attitudes; it implies, therefore, a new outlook of young people who are enthusiastic to apply new concepts of information control, eager to become skillful in handing new gadgets and maintaining new procedures in all types of Information and library services. The trend is clear: it has to become a movement. As in every movement, an article of faith seems more important initially, that acquisition of exact techniques and skills: a firm belief that libraries will become true information centres as well as repositories of our civilization; and complete awareness that the main purpose of formal training is to enable a Library Technician to assist the highly qualified Librarian in every possible way, and especially in controlling new technologies. The key to the delight of being a Library Technology Graduate should be found in the realization that one has been correctly motivated and fully oriented for a forward looking career. Full mastery of the fast-changing and ever -developing techniques wi l come with experience, if ever. The job opportunities look bright. The onus is on the individual Graduate.
