First steps: reconstructing library and information science education in South Africa
A discussion of the pattern of library and infonnation science (LIS) education in South Africa, with a consideration of the effects of the political changes implemented by the Government of National Unity which follow from the first democratic national election of 1994. The need for the instilling of competencies of infonnation literacy, the need for redress in resource management and the possible unification of the 'fonnal' and 'infonnal' aspects of the South African LIS sector are considered within the context of the development of improved LIS curricula.
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.
