| 520 | 3 | |a The Maltese archipelago has around 400 libraries, the bulk of which are school and public libraries. There is also one National library, one University library, and a number of special libraries of varying sizes. There are two professional bodies, the Malta Library and Information Association and the Malta School Library Association, which both organise short professional development courses for workers in the field. Locally available professional library education takes the form of a part-time Diploma course offered by the University of Malta. While libraries have undoubtedly been given a boost thanks to an improved telecoms infrastructure, increased local council involvement and their use in the delivery of e-government services, many are still held back from reaching their full potential by inadequate budgets, lack of professional status for qualified staff, and very little inter-library collaboration. New legislation in the pipeline may address some of these problems. | |
