Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the perceived prestige of professional journals held by the deans/directors of ALA accredited schools of library and information studies and the directors of ARL libraries. The results suggest that the two survey populations hold very different views of these professional journals. This divergence of perceptions raises further questions regarding the relationship of library/information science faculty and the leadership of major library/information centers.
期刊介绍:
Information is widely recognized as a vital resource in economic development. The skills of information handling traditionally associated with libraries, are now in great demand in all sectors, including government, business and commerce. The education and training of information professionals is, therefore, an issue of growing significance. Education for Information has been since 1983 a forum for debate and discussion on education and training issues in the sphere of information handling. It includes refereed full-length articles and short communications on matters of current concern to educators and practitioners alike. Its News section reports on significant activities and events in the international arena.
