Abstract
Distance
education is not a big news in the academic community of library
science. It has been drawing attention of the educators all over
the world ever since its emergence at the end of the 60ies but in
the last twenty years, as a result of the rapid developments in
ICT and the increasing presence of the Internet in the academic
education and research work, distance education has become a consisting
part of many university curricula in the developed countries. Distance
education in Croatia is at its very beginnings. LIS professionals
from Croatia have also started thinking about the application of
ICT, which has become more accessible recently but still has some
limitations, in the distance education of part-time LIS students
as well as the continuous professional education of graduated Croatian
librarians.
