Abstract
The continued health and growth of information science can not be sustained unless qualified individuals choose it as a career. Information Science is concerned with the development of theories of access to the delivery of information. It is also concerned with the design and economics of systems to provide information. Due mainly to a lack of concensus of a definition of information science, there has been very little unity with respect to training requirements for information scientists, and little or no information on the available manpower pool and the future job market for these individuals.
