Abstract
Historically the profession of information work has been related to the collections or where they are stored, for example, librarians worked in libraries; today this idea is becoming more complex and is changing and developing. Information work is more about a process, the collection, dissemination and utilisation of information and knowledge.

Abstract
The need for investigation to provide hard evidence for management planning and decisions is well recognized. Statistical methods offer meaningful analyses of quantitative and qualitative data. Data may be acquired from published and official sources or by one′s own collecting. Evaluating other people′s data and reported results, and making valid conclusions from one′s own data, require some intuitive understanding of methods of data collection and the theoretical bases of statistics. Methods of analysis range from simple arithmetical processes and graphical display to inferential methods based on probability. Acquisition of adequate statistical skills is accessible to all workers in the library and information field.
