DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIAL TRENDS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INFORMATION PROFESSION: PART 1
Abstract
Present and projected demographic and social trends in the United Kingdom are outlined and their effect on the size and structure of the workforce as a whole and the information workforce in particular are discussed. The implications of these changes for the library and information studies school and for the information profession employment market are considered and possible solutions are proposed as to how the information profession could tackle the impending skills shortage.
