But increasing job opportunities are overcoming that sterotypical image, causing more students to become librarians, according to an associate professor of library science at USC. There has been a 130 percent increase in enrollment in USC's College of Library and Information x Science scince 1982. The increase IMH M reflects a national trend, said Dr. Charles Curran. "We've left the Agricultural Age and the Industrial Age. Most of us J are no longer growing things and J making things for a living," he said. M "We are creating and processing information, and information skills are going to be the kinds of survival V skills for the future." In the case of USC, Curran said, increasing enrollment can be traced to a combination of factors. First is the growing need for information specialists in public libraries, academic settings and the business world, he said. Then there is USC's aggressive "distance" education program, which makes courses easily harmacy major available statewide through telecommunications. 1 Curran said more jobs are >lina mcCf les and Rentals. j srrture Specialist.

There are also increased opportunities in the areas of publishing, computer science, office manage ment and communications for library school graduates, he said. The skills being learned by today's students have adapted to a changing world, Curran said. In the near future, 60 percent of | Americans will make their living by either producing, processing or communication information. In principle, the librarian of the M future will have the same duties as c5^ the librarian of the past: helping people get to the information they need. That's a function which will never change, he said. "Even when the entire Vatican Library is reducible to a microdot, or all of the Library of Congress is A available just by using a remote control retrieval device, there still will V need to be somebody who will make ^ some sense out of the mass of information." Not even the old-fashioned image of the librarian can hold back the skilled information specialist, Curran said. "The stereotypical view will probably stay forever, but sooner or later we will overcome that to the extent that people will know what we do and what we can do for them."
