This paper will portray the differences and similarities that exist between students who attended the Swedish School of Library and Information Science in Borås. The study is based upon quantitative information gathered from a survey which was distributed to first-year students in Borås in the auturnn term 1994. A total of 77 students responded to the survey. We also do a comparative study of the students at all the library programs in Sweden. This is partially based on the findings by a thesis prior to this one by the authors Svalstedt and Österdahl. We found that the students in Borås differ mainly in their personal histories and backgrounds. When it comes to their attitudes towards the profession and educational matters they are similar. Further we found the same to be true in our comparison of the library programs in total.
