  • Study programmes in library sciences have changed fundamentally. In 1999, 29 states signed the Bologna agreement for a new study programme. Among other things the main focus is on the mutual recognition of qualifications obtained, in general to promote comparable course structures and to establish a single European Higher Education Area by 2010. The aim of this thesis is to examine the ongoing changes in the curriculum because of the reorganisation of study programmes. First, a review of literature is undertaken to give basic information on the Bologna process and the legal foundations. Statistical information about the situation in Austria and Germany conclude this chapter. In the second part of the thesis all bachelor and master study programmes in library sciences are examined. Additionally, specific characteristics of each course and some background information are given. Furthermore, the directors of studies are interviewed to find out whether or not there are deficits in the courses at the moment. Summing up, changes in the courses have both a positive but also a negative effect on the teaching programmes for information professionals. The findings of the interviews are summarised by giving information on the new curricula. Finally, recommendations are made about which courses are important and should be included.
