Abstract:
The study was an assessment of changing needs
of information professionals in Zimbabwe.
Results from this study were aimed at informing
library and information science curricula of
professional development initiatives of
information professionals. The data for the study
was collected using semi-structured interviews.
During data analysis, participants were grouped
according to qualifications, as well as
experience. This was done to map the influence
of work experience and qualifications on the
needs of information professionals. Results from
the study showed that the needs of information
professionals are changing and that the current
curricula in Zimbabwe are failing to cope with
the changes.
