In developing countries, the organization of efficient library and documentation structures is being held back largely by the absence or shortage of trained staff. Certain states, aware of the potential contribution of information specialists to their development have, in conjunction with international organizations such as Unesco, concentrated their efforts on the establishment and development of training facilities. Meanwhile, Unesco has been especially concerned with producing and disseminating study manuals adapted to the particular needs of these countries and to the level of the readers for whom they are intended. Notwithstanding these efforts, there are still many needs to be met: in most developing countries, the units concerned with librarianship and documentation are run by personnel who have received no special training. The task, then, was to provide for all those who, embarking on a career in this field, search in vain for a straightforward textbook that would offer them a clear view of their future mission and its importance. In seeking to fill this gap, Unesco entrusted the preparation of this manual to two specialists with great experience in this field, who received generous and valuable support from a wide variety of their colleagues. The present publication is primarily conceived as a general introduction to the techniques of information work. The purpose and intended readership explain the manual's deliberate simplicity of vocabulary, unity of presentation and arrangement in a modular form. It is our hope that it will serve as a handbook which will succeed in strengthening the motivation and improving the skill of those beginning or pursuing a career in a library or information unit without the necessary basic training.
