Changes in LIS Education: A Bibliography

[Sloan, Bernie]

I sent out the following announcement in mid-December about my "Changes in
LIS Education" bibliography...

Just wanted you all to know that I've just posted a revised version of this
bibliography. While the initial version contained about 120 entries, I've
added 60-70 entries to this revised version. This bibliography now contains
about 185 entries:

> As a lot of you already know, there's been quite a bit of interest lately

> 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

> This bibliography is an attempt to gather relevant literature related to

> Right now there are about 125 entries in the bibliography, with about

> 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.
