personnel training. There is co-operation between the library schools and
education centres in Indonesia and with foreign institutions, particularly
the Department of Library and Archival Education at the Faculty of
Letters, University of Indonesia, Jakarta, and two other government
establishments in Bandung (attached to the Teachers’ College) and
Surabaya. However, considering the overall national needs, the output
from these institutions is still considered much too small. The librarydevelopment
programme has, therefore, to hold various refresher courses
for existing library personnel and short technical courses for new recruits.
These courses are given in co-operation with lecturers from the institutions
already mentioned with the assistance of representatives from foreign
library education centres invited to Indonesia. Staff are also sent abroad
for additional training. Of particular note are the British Library Schools
operating through the British Council.
