This register provides information on information science, librarianship, documentation, and archival science training activities conducted outside regular university courses organized by specialized schools. Based on a December 1980 UNESCO questionnaire survey, the register includes seminars, refresher courses, continuing education courses, and institutes and workshops on specific subjects, and gives particulars on study and/or research grants and travel allowances for study abroad offered by various governments and international institutions and foundations, mainly for the benefit of nationals of developing countries. Descriptions are provided in English, French, and Spanish for 11 United Nations organization activities, 10 intergovernmental organizational activities, and 7 international/non-governmental activities. The remaining 146 activities are sponsored by national organizations and institutions and are described in either English, French, or Spanish, depending on the location of the sponsoring agency or activity. A subject index is provided. This register is intended to complement the "World Guide to Library Schools and Training Courses in Documentation" and the "Newsletter on Education and Training Programmes for Information Personnel."
