Publisher's Synopsis

Change is constant: in technology, in society, in economics, in politics. What are the implications for library and information science educators? In January of 1992, the University of Tromso with Bendik Rugaas, national librarian of Norway, organized a conference on curriculum design for the information market place. Eleven library leaders in Scandinavia, Europe and the United States considered the future of library education. Their thought-provoking remarks are captured in this book. The keynote presentation, "Information for Research," was made by Yves Courrier, General Information Programme, Paris. Richard M. Dougherty of the University of Michigan contributed "How De We Get There From Here? Achieving Preferred Library Futures." "A Library Education at Stake" was a joint presentation by Romulo Enmark and Staffan Loof, both of the Swedish School of Library and Information Science. Other participants included Hans Martin Fagerli, of the Norwegian School of Library and Information Science; Maurice B. Line, library consultant in England; S. Michael Malinconico, of the University of Alabama; and G. Edward Evans, of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.
