Abstract:

Considers issues associated with library technicians who choose to upgrade their qualifications by studying Charles Sturt University's BA (Library and Information Science) degree. Approximately fifty per cent of CSU's annual intake into the BA(LIS) are those with a library technician's qualification, and previous research indicated that their success rates were lower than those who enter the program with other backgrounds. The paper discusses whether success rates have improved as CSU support systems for students grow and improve.
