Library science curriculum

Abstract

Centres attention on the curriculum and through this reflects on several aspects related to librarianship as a discipline, and the different approaches which have been part of it in the past, present and perhaps even in the future. Challenges of librarianship as a discipline are put forth in the context of universal knowledge as well as its role in university studies. Devotes attention to the relationships between research and teaching and emphasizes postgraduate learning, research and theory, also touching on its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary aspects. Places the discipline of librarianship where it rightly belongs, as part of university curricula and continuing education programmes. Finally analyses the influence of the US school on the Mexican curriculum as well as its relationship with the Mexican education system.
