The past few years have brought radical changes in the Hungarian higher educational system. Similarly to other training programmes, the training in library and information sciences has been subject to significant modification too. Beside structural changes of the training, LIS departments and schools are striving to keep up with the technological requirements of the information age with syllabuses focusing on IT-related subjects. This tendency is justified on the one hand, since library services do have to keep up with the fast development of information technologies. However, we have to keep in mind that in order to train competent LIS professionals, the training programme must be founded on a solid, long term, progressive concept. In addition to developing IT skills, students need to get familiar with all the basic principles of library and information sciences. These principles have been somewhat neglected over the past few years in favour of the use of information technology tools, nevertheless, libraries are not able to provide quality services without them. Unfortunately there are a few areas of librarianship and related work processes that are missing from current LIS curricula or are only included as theoretical subjects. This paper demonstrates the shortcomings of the current training programmes and argues that structural modifications in the training system need to be followed by the improvement of the syllabuses too.

Despite the automation of work processes and services worldwide, the importance of highly skilled human resource has increased in every professional area, including the area of information services. This situation lead to a change of paradigm in librarianship, especially concerning the skills and attitudes required in the library environment. The recent library legislation in Hungary established the new system of libraries and library services and laid down the structures of professional training and continuous training of librarians. Making the image of librarianship more attractive became one of the strategic goals of the Hungarian Library Strategy for the period 2003-2007. The implementation of the strategic plans has become an issue of great interest among all library professionals. There are a number of issues that need to be re-considered in the system of training, including the components and proportions of the knowledge areas that need to be studied and the content and structures of professional training and continuous training. A system of competitive salaries must be worked out and ways must be found to make the image of librarianship rise higher in public esteem. The investment in human resource at libraries pays dividends in the multiple tasks and services provided by librarians for the benefit of citizens.

The authoress describes benchmarking, more and more popular as a management technique in recent times. Information gathered and analysed in a benchmarking process might be very useful in the library management and are absolutely necessary for improving quality of its performance and services. It is important that such initiatives develop in the world librarianship and that librarians are very interested in setting up standards and indicators of functionality and quality.
