First-level LIS education and training: A comparison between South Africa and Canada

Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of first-level LIS education and training between South Africa and Canada, and based on this comparative description, qualitative identification of similarities and differences are made to highlight strengths and weaknesses in each case. The paper concludes that while similarities exist, the differences stem largely from the different social contexts in which this education is located. Notwithstanding this, there are lessons to be learnt from the endeavors of each of these countries.
