Abstract	This paper identifies issues and potential conflicts in the harmonization of education and training programs for the three information professions, i.e., archives, information science, and librarianship, and notes that these professions have a common bond and purpose as carriers of information and providers of service to their user communities. Topics expanded upon in the paper include: (1) curriculum design and development; (2) core library and information science curriculum; (3) relationship among information science, librarianship, and information studies; (4) informational role of archives; (5) common subjects of interest to the three professions; (6) institutions teaching all three disciplines; (7) the concepts of "trunk" and "satellites"; (8) options or electives in postgraduate programs; and (9) a foundation course in human communication. It is suggested that the teacher, the students, and the course itself are all important contributors to the harmonization process. Appendixes contain a flow chart of information/records management and the curriculum requirements for a master of arts degree in librarianship. (19 references) (CGD)
