In 1999 Rectors of Universities and Ministers of Education from
throughout the European Union made a commitment at a conference in
Bologna to restructure courses to a common European pattern of Bachelors
and Masters degrees by 2010 in place of the existing, differing national
patterns of awards. Implementing these changes, together with the
European Credit Transfer scheme and new accreditation and quality
assurance systems is affecting the Schools of Librarianship and
Information Sciences in a variety of ways. To discuss experiences in
adapting to meet European standards and to overcome regional variations
in needs and interests, EUCLID: the European Association for Library and
Information Education and Research will hold a conference at the
Technological Educational Institution of Thessalonika, Greece from 16 -
19 October 2002.
