Rosalind, As far as I am aware there is no recognised standard although the Euro<26, ERYICA and Eurodesk networks are working closely to raise the standard of youth information provision in Europe. For full information on youth information in Europe, you should contact : Jon Alexander European Information and Counselling Association 101 quai Branly F-75740 Paris France Tel : (33) 144.49.13.26 Fax : (33) 140.56.36.14 Email : [log in to unmask] I hope this helps. Best wishes, Maureen Rooney Eurodesk Manager -----Original Message----- From: Rosalind Johnson [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 13 January 2003 14:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Fw: Skills for today's information workers - EU standards I received the following request for information. The enquiry asks if there are any EU standards/policies for information workers. I'm not aware of any standards/policies specifically relating to information workers, but before I blithely assume this to be the case, does anyone out there know any different? Most of the information seems to be quite general (for example, the recognition of professional qualifications, at: http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/rec_qual_en.html). Many thanks Rosalind Johnson European Consultant CILIP: The Chartered Instititue of Library and Information Professionals -----Original Message----- Sent: Thu 09/01/2003 17:12 To: Rosalind Johnson Subject: Skills for today's information workers - EU standards I am compiling a dossier of standards and policies on qualifications and skills for information workers in the UK. My purpose is to obtain an overview of what skills are deemed necessary for modern information work in the UK today, backed by examples of particular standards and policies. I'm also intersted in self-assesment tools which staff can use to measure their skills against organisational or sector standards. I'd like to include in my dossier any EU standards which exist. Can you advise on what EU documents / policies there are, or to whom I should address my request for this information? Many thanks for your help. ************************************************************************* Rosalind Johnson BA MA MCLIP European Consultant CILIP: The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals 7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE Direct Line: +44 (0)20 7255 0640 Reception: +44 (0)20 7255 0500 Textphone: +44 (0)20 7255 0505 Fax: +44 (0)20 7255 0501 Email: [log in to unmask] or: [log in to unmask] Website: www.cilip.org.uk www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/lis-european-programmes.html -- Virus scanned by edNET.
