Abstract
The planning, development and execution of a “link” programme concerned with the education of teacher librarians in Papua New Guinea is described. The programme was designed in the “distance learning” mode, and intended to be used by teachers in remote areas, supported by practical sessions, or Laharas, on the main campus. Some of the pragmatic issues are discussed, and also the potential of such distance learning programmes in relation to community information. There are also possibilities of producing such programmes for core areas in other developing countries.
