four-week intensive Fellowship program based at OCLCs headquarters in
Dublin, Ohio, USA. Topics and issues include information technologies
and their impact on libraries, library operations and management, and
global cooperative librarianship. w

information center. 2) Have
a qualifying degree in library or information science. The qualifying
degree may vary depending upon country of origin, but should be the
general library or information science degree recognized in the country.

at least three years, but no more than eight years, of library or
