Abstract

A study was designed to determine how the degree programs in Information and library science available in 2000-2005 at the public universities of Madrid fit the labour market needs of their students. The methodology used was the development of a questionnaire addressed to graduates. Although the number of surveys completed is not high (118), the authors believe that the results obtained permit a series of conclusions that may be extrapolated to the entire cohort.
