摘要：

The study was an assessment of changing needs of information professionals in Zimbabwe. Results from this study were aimed at informing library and information science curricula of professional development initiatives of information professionals. The data for the study was collected using semi-structured interviews. During data analysis, participants were grouped according to qualifications, as well as experience. This was done to map the influence of work experience and qualifications on the needs of information professionals. Results from the study showed that the needs of information professionals are changing and that the current curricula in Zimbabwe are failing to cope with the changes.
