jESSE is a listserv discussion group that, since 1994, promotes discussion of library and information science education issues in a world-wide context. It addresses issues of curricula, administration, research, and education theory and practice as they relate to information science issues in general, and in general academia as the membership feels so moved. It is one of the primary outlets for faculty position announcements in LIS. Specific queries on lost resources and other minutia are welcome, as are broader questions for general discussion. Although used by many members of the Association for Library and Information Science Education, the listserv is NOT the official electronic channel for ALISE nor is it a project of ALISE. It is an independent project moderated by Dr. Gretchen Whitney (now Retd.) of the University of Tennessee School of Information Sciences, and any questions regarding its composition or operation should be directed to her at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> While anyone can join the listserv, messages sent to subscribers are moderated.
