> As a lot of you already know, there's been quite a bit of interest lately
> in changes in library and information science education. As librarianship
> becomes increasingly technology-based, e.g., the exponential growth of the
> Web as an information resource, LIS schools are reviewing/revising
> curricula to accomodate this increasing reliance on information
> technology. ALA held its second Congress on Professional Education last
> month, and the theme of next month's Association for Library and
> Information Science Education (ALISE) conference is "Reconsidering library
> and information science education".
>
> Given this recent level of interest in this topic, I wanted to point out a
> bibliography that I am putting together that's titled "Changes in LIS
> Education":

>
> This bibliography is an attempt to gather relevant literature related to
> changes in LIS education over the past fifteen years or so, for North
> American schools accredited by the American Library Association. It
> contains entries that treat the topic from the perspectives of both
> practitioner and educator.
>
> Right now there are about 125 entries in the bibliography, with about
> three dozen or so available online. I'd very much appreciate any
> suggestions anyone might have for additional entries.
>
> Note: This bibliography is very much a work in progress. I have not yet
> reviewed every entry to determine its applicability. New entries will be
> added. Existing entries may be dropped if they are not directly
> applicable. Additional entries may be dropped as I tighten the focus of my
> research on the topic.
