<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">The Concept of Education and Specialization of the Librarians in Germany, is briefly describe in the Paper. The Lectures of the Professor Ute Kraus-Lajher Ph.D, held in the National Library of Serbia, in November, 2003, has served as basis for this Work, complemented with data's from Professional Literature. The educational System in Germany is organized federatively, meaning that each Province has its own educational policy, according to its Needs. The Province Concepts of Education are in accordance with the Framework of the Law for High School Education, which is valid for the entire state of Germany. The program of Studies for Librarianship is presently in the phase of re-organization: some old traditional courses are cancelled, some are associated with others, but most frequently new courses are opened. The Reform of the Education is oriented to the description of the Librarian work, and not to the Institution where he works. The main goals of this Reform are the internationalization of the Studies, the possibility of gradation, the increscent of the transparency of the Studies and the preparation of Students for perpetual learning. A great attention is consecrate to the specialization of Librarians, although there is no unique concept for that in Germany. The organization is in the competence of Provinces or specific Institutions. But in spite all that, the possibilities for specialization are numerous. Various Institutions, Associations and Societies, some Libraries, Professional Schools and Universities are giving the possibility for the Specialization.</abstract>
