Please post
this information on the JESSE list on behalf of the chair of the ALA Committee
on Education.
As current
chair of the ALA Committee on Education (COE) and in helping to fulfill
COE’s role of providing a networking platform for dialogues between LIS
educators and practitioners, the Committee has offered Beth Paskoff, Director
of the Louisiana State University Library and Information Science Program, and
Linda Smith, Associate Dean of the University of Illinois Graduate School of
Library and Information Science, an open forum for discussion at the Education
Assembly during the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC. I am happy to
announce that both have accepted the invitation. This will enable Dr. Paskoff
and Dr. Smith to have a national platform to discuss the issues concerning
their programs and to garner the support of practitioners and others in the
library community. This also will help COE define our role in looking into this
matter on behalf of Council and in supporting the programs during these
challenges.
Date: Saturday, June 26, 2010
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
Location: Washington Convention Center, room 149A/B
