- Abstract
- A disparity seems to exist between the expectations that librarians have of education for the knowledge organization (KO) and what is taught in accredited master's programs across the United States and Canada. Analysis of official competencies, AUTOCAT discussion list postings, previous studies, and LIS curricula suggests that although many practitioners express this mismatch, the data reveal that KO competencies are hardly marginalized in curricula, and there is a large degree of consensus on what educators should and do offer. The analysis also indicates that there may be a "mismatch" in perception about the state of KO education and curricular offerings today within both the practitioner and educator communities.
