LIS education – repackaging infopreneurs or promoting value‐based skills?

Abstract

As the LIS field is being restructured world‐wide, a survey of key institutions and relevant literature confirms that ethics and its information age derivative “infoethics” are becoming important components of LIS research and teaching. LIS scholars and educators need to train students in value‐based skills appropriate for many information age challenges. In Europe LIS research and teaching will in addition need to adapt to the converging forces of the Bologna Agreement’s “European Higher Education Area”.
