The first portion of this report describes a study of the relationship between inservice training requirements and training programs currently offered in the field of librarianship, information, and documentation in the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin. Data on inservice needs were mainly gathered from a study on training requirements in the information sector; and information on the training programs was obtained from data on inservice training programs supplied by regional groups as well a sample from the database "Quo Vadis." Particular attention is paid to the subject matter, participant profiles, and cost of these programs. Study results indicate a discrepancy between the supply of and demand for inservice training in many fields, and it is concluded that the gap must be filled by purposeful and sustained educational measures. The second portion of the report provides an overview of the current status of inservice training with respect to public administration; and, based on a list of observations about the information field compiled by Reinermann, a list of objectives is developed as a basis for training programs, emphasizing the focal areas of information technology and information management. A comparison of these objectives with the subject areas covered by the working program of the Federal Academy for Public Administration of the Federal Ministry of the Interior indicates the presence of a high degree of congruence already in the first phase of implementation. The text is supplemented with 10 figures and 20 references are provided. (Author/EW)
