Abstract: Argues against various trends towards the downgrading of cataloguing in librarianship. These include the administrative response to the ready availability of shared catalogue records, the targeting of cataloguing positions when library budgets shrink, the 'supply and demand' attitude of library schools in the USA which less often insist on students studying cataloguing, and the lack of a core and prescriptive curriculum for library professionals sponsored by the ALA. The study of cataloguing and cataloguing theory promotes skills that ensure consistency, predictibility and repeatability of access to materials, and the lack of these skills among librarians harms the services they provide

Abstract: Explores the newly emerging information discipline of records management, focusing on its current status in the UK where it is represented by a range of sector specific and general organizations for information professionals. While records management involves some skills and knowledge which are different from those already mastered by library and information professionals, there are significant overlaps in terms of cataloguing, classification, indexing, identifying and meeting user needs and the challenge of dealing with information in electronic form. Concludes that, in the changing and sometimes shrinking market of of some of the more traditional library sectors, records management may offer the opportunity for information professionals to develop or shift their career path while remaining within the discipline of information management

Abstract: Describes the development, funding and staffing of the Information Literacy Program (ILP) at the Mantor Library at the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF). The programme aims at helping both UMF students and community patrons to understand better how and where to look for information. Instruction takes place in an electronic classroom equipped with 21 computers running campus-standard Web-browsers and word processing; the instructor's station can control all of the computers in the classroom, or the instructor may pass or share control with students. Discusses issues relating to campus politics, the positioning of the programme in the college experience, the necessity of teaching evaluation skills, and the programme's impact on reference services. gives advice to other libraries considering a similar project

Abstract

Describes the rethinking and revision of a course on online searching, at Michigan University, brought about by the proliferation of information services and interface available online. The course now focuses much more on the concepts underlying information searching and their interrelationships, exposes students to a wider variety of information services while still allowing them to develop skills on 1 specific system, and asks students to ne reflective regarding their own searching as well as the environment. The aim of this new version is to help students understand what expert searchers know about searching, their wisdom, by talking about more than file structures and search languages

Abstract

The training of librarians in content analysis undergoes influences resulting both from the realities existing in the various application fields and from technological innovations. The present contribution attempts to identify components of such training that are necessary for a future-oriented instruction, and it stresses the importance of furnishing a sound theoretical basis, especially in the light of technological developments. Purpose of the training is to provide the foundation for 'action competence' on the part of the students

Abstract

Reports results of a survey of US library schools to investigate the adoption, impact, and role of networking concepts and resources, such as the Internet, in the library and information science curriculum. Findings indicate that, to a large degree, educators have kept up with recent trends and tools in networking in a variety of courses. There was overwhelming consensus on the importance of networked information resources and access tools but less agreement on their places in the library and information science curriculum

Abstract

In the last 15 years social work teaching in the Netherlands has made a significant shift from concentrating on learning social, political and economic theories, towards more field practice and more learning from client cases. Describes work so far on a project to develop a model for working more systematically with client cases, to build a database with client cases and to use information and communication technology in the learning process for direct communication with field practice

Abstract

Online textbooks can be connected to other sources of information to improve their educational value. We describe 2 case studies. One used in a medical textbook and connected to medical journal abstracts via a thesaurus. The textbook, journal abstracts, and thesaurus were stored on a CD-ROM. The other case study shows a textbook on the WWW that is connected to various other sources of information. About half the book references are to web sites, and the textbook is part of an online course that is connected to an online catalog and other courses. Such linkages among information spaces should help students navigate the information relevant to their studies

Abstract

Educators and practitioners usually have very different views on what should be included in cataloging courses. The educators believe that a good theoretical foundation in bibliographic control and subject analysis will prepare graduates to work as catalog librarians. The practitioners usually believe that the person who completes a cataloging class in library school is qualified to begin a training program. I have been asked to present my views on education for cataloging from the perspective of a practicing cataloger who spends a portion of her time as a library science educator devoted to teaching cataloging.

Abstract

Library and information studies (LIS) education may be misreading the academic community's expectations. A programme's viability may hinge on a counterintuitive premise, where the academic culture allows each discipline to create its own criteria for its own evaluation. LIS programmes may have unwittingly assumed that adopting the scientific mode might gain the currency in the academic realm; yet there is little evidence that LIS programmes has the prerequisite infrastructure to compete with a science discipline in terms of sustained funded research, teaching assistant and postdoctoral assistant services, laboratory equipment, and other resources. Many LIS students and faculty do not come from the scientific disciplines, and this further inhibits their ability to compete in that arena. LIS programme and faculty evaluators have used criteria from the sciences to measure LIS progress and to determine individuals' suitability for promotion. Contends that this application of inappropriate criteria has done unnecessary harm to LIS and the individual involved. An examination of selected Committee on Accreditation (COA) self study responses and other sources indicates the LIS may misread the academic culture because LIS does not appear to be central to university governance. The waning of LIS's affiliation with libraries may do LIS irreparable harm and the focus may need to be recentred on educating librarians

Abstract

Presents the results of a survey conducted to investigate how library and information science students are being educated for careers in a changing reference/information environment. A review of the literature on education for reference work since the 1970s shows a shift in focus from reference sources to reference work with a greater emphasis on user needs and behaviour. Completed questionnaires from 48 teachers of basic reference courses in ALA-accredited programmes were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The most frequently taught skills related to the reference interview and search strategy, most courses covered types of reference sources as well as specific titles, and most teachers give some attention to reference/information services. The learning objectives and teaching methods exhibited considerable variety, however. Qualitative analysis of data about course content and future trends suggested a growing recognition of the systematic nature of reference work and the importance of evaluation
