Until 1991, training of librarians in Bosnia and Herzegovina was provided by the Department of Comparative Literature and Librarianship of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Sarajevo. Training was interrupted due to the war and is intended to be resumed in September 1996. There is a urgent need of trained librarians in order to replace the 70% of the members of the profession who left the country since 1991. However, library training within the University has to be re-organized and the curricula have to be adapted to the new requirements. The main problem in this context is the lack of trained teachers and teaching material. International assistance is required in curriculum development
