Abstract: Professionals in the information field need a variety of up‐to‐date skills. Currently there are many options for learning and practicing these skills. Academic departments, professional societies, consultants, and various commercial organizations, all of whom offer courses, conferences, workshops, seminars, institutes and the like, compete with each other for training dollars. Other options for trainees include in‐house training, how‐to books and manuals, databases on CD‐ROM, CAI and emulators, and videotapes. Major changes in training are taking place as a result of the rapidly increasing number of direct end users of information services and products. All potential trainees, whether end users or information professionals, must carefully assess the relative value of the training options available. © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
