Bawden and his colleagues (2005, p. 96) also compared education and training programs in two countries, UK and Slovenia. They concluded as follows:
“We have seen that both formal education and continuing development training is adapting to cover aspects of the digital environment, both in the UK and in Slovenia. This is happening as part of the normal process of the redesign of degree programs and of training courses. Digital skills and knowledge are being “embedded” in existing courses, for the most part, rather than in entities labeled digital library. It seems clear that there is general agreement that certain general topics are of importance: typology of resources and domain analysis; computer/network literacy/ information literacy and retrieval skills; analysis of information; etc. But there is considerable scope for choosing which of these to focus on, and how to present them. While it is not desirable to recommend, still less impose, a closely-defined education program and curriculum, some guidance might be helpful”.
