Building on the Re-envisioning the MLS initiative from the University of Maryland's iSchool and the Information Policy & Access Center (iPAC), this book continues the critical conversations around preparing future librarians. Library and information science (LIS) programs are the foundation of librarianship, and their design requires input from everyone in the field - from academics designing programs and courses, to practitioners reflecting on how prepared (or unprepared) they are to serve their communities, to hiring authorities considering qualifications of candidates. The second installment of this two-part volume explores many of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the future of the MLS degree, including the changing nature of the communities that libraries serve and how LIS education should address these changes, how archival training must accommodate big data, the specialized skill sets librarians need on the job, and how best to prepare librarians for their role as educators. These conversations will never be fully resolved, as LIS education must continue to evolve to ensure the efficacy of libraries and the librarians at the heart of the work. 410 0$tAdvances in librarianship ;$vv. 44A. 606 $aLibrary education 606 $aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aLibrary & information sciences$2bicssc 615 0$aLibrary education. 615 7$aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral. 615 7$aLibrary & information sciences. 676 $a020.7 702 $aPercell$b Johnna 702 $aSarin$b Lindsay C. 702 $aJaeger$b Paul T.$f1974- 702 $aBertot$b John Carlo 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795019803321 996 $aRe-envisioning the MLS$91511377 997 $aUNINA
