Abstract

From six questions, we present a debate on the public examination to the bodies and scales of libraries and archives. The topics addressed are: the evolution of the public calls, the pertinence of the exercises and collections of themes and the training of candidates. There is also a dialogue about two problems that occur at the upper levels, especially in libraries: the small number of candidates applying to the public calls and the fact that many of the positions offered are not covered due to a lack of candidates passing the selection process. In addition to the moderator, five professionals who know these processes very closely participate in the debate and the point of view of the the candidates is also reflected by the inclusion of the contributions of one of them.
