Abstract
Experiences in developing a new syllabus are discussed and the steps in planning and develop ment detailed. The educational theories of concept development and analysis of learning objectives, as propounded by Pella, Margenau, Gagné and Bloom, proved useful and their relevance is analysed. A network analysis of the syllabus shows how its relationship with other aspects of librarianship was catered for, and has also facilitated adaptations resulting from reduced time-allocation to the course. This paper seeks to provoke discussion and to keep the profession informed of the way in which one library school is attempting to keep pace with library developments and provide the skills that will be needed in the future. The views expressed are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the policy of the Library School.
