Introducing web components into the LIS graduate curriculum
Abstract
Purpose
This paper introduces web components, one of the most exciting and potentially transformative of the technologies that comprise HTML5. Web components provide a standardised method of creating and sharing custom HTML elements.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper is a viewpoint.
Findings
The paper proposes that the web development curriculum in library and information science (LIS) graduate programs needs to expand to cover this important topic.
Originality/value
Despite the potentially seismic impact of web components on Web development, up until this point, there has not been a discussion of this technology within the LIS literature.
