“…For example some public scientific libraries provided the general population with information of all kinds and also served as central methodological centres for the public library system. Due to the very different geographical and political situations, this kind of library has today disappeared, for example in the Czech Republic, but is very successful in Russia (Genieva and Simon, 1994).…”

The cultural determination of information behaviour is deeply influencing the way information is looked for, used and handled. Therefore, libraries in Central and Eastern Europe show, to a certain extent, the same characteristics due to the centralist information environment of the previous socialist rule. However, the deeply rooted belief in education and knowledge which was the pursued idea, regardless of frequent misuse by the Communist government may, in comparison to Western countries, ease the way into a knowledge society. The newly created information infrastructure in all European countries due to the technological development which will change libraries, for example in Germany, could be useless, or maybe even dangerous, without being embedded in a solid base of learning and knowledge.

“…Central agencies providing bibliographic and other information were disappearing. Libraries were closed, such as the libraries of the trade unions, or changed their role [4]. The book market changed completely from a statecontrolled agency to a disintegrated market, subsequently leading to quite a chaotic situation [5] which -besides the lack of fundsprevented libraries from developing anything similar to an acquisition policy.…”

Since the opening up of the Soviet bloc countries, help given to libraries from the West has mainly taken the form of donation of material. It has been difficult for Western colleagues to appreciate the full extent of the problems experienced by their counterparts in the former Soviet bloc. The most pressing problems concerned library management. Describes two seminars on library and information management set up by the Foreign Relations Bureau, Berlin, in former Soviet bloc countries. The seminars tackled the problem of management from different angles. Outlines the learning and benefits received by both Western and Eastern participants.

The gap between the information poor and the information rich is widening in the modern societies of western countries and continues to divide East and West, the developed and the developing countries. The transformation from collection‐oriented to access‐oriented libraries and information centers too often neglects the cultural precondition of differing societies, but must be taken into account in organising training and other forms of continuing education. In this context, workshops and training seminars are being organised by the Foreign Relations Office at the German Library Institute in Berlin and are described in brief here.
