Is it highly unusual anymore to have directors / deans of LIS /
iSchools who have never worked in libraries ?  Was this more common a
generation ago ?

How are todays Deans & faculty different ?

What is the impact on leadership of LIS programs --they had
specialization in the olden days too didn't they?

just questions as I read....I enjoyed reading the obituary and many
tributes about Dr Goldhor and his career.  Those were the days !
thanks for sharing your memories of him

As a graduate student at Albany for my Masters program I had one of my
last classes with Dr Tom Galvin who retired from SUNY Albany, but had
quite a career as well very involved actively with both ALA most of
his career and also as Dean at the now iSchool at Pittsburgh for many
years also.   Are Deans and Directors that much different today ?
