REMENTERIA PINONES, Ariel. Chilean Ph. D. in Library Science: a National Necessity. Investig. bibl [online]. 2008, vol.22, n.44, pp.11-32. ISSN 2448-8321.

The implementation in Chile of a Ph. D. in Library Science is reflected upon and the Organic Constitutional Teaching Law (LOCE) analysed in relation to postgraduate education. The master programs offered in Chile in Library Science are briefly outlined. The reasons which justify the development of the doctoral program are discussed in the light of the poor results suggested by indicators on the number of highly qualified human resources in the area. The need to increase the critical number of researchers in Chilean Library Science through a masters degree, is concluded.
