A Look at Today's Library Students and Faculty

Abstract

Many articles have been written about the changes that have occurred in libraries in the past thirty years. A number of changes also have taken place within library schools during this same time frame. In this series, we will talk to a SLIS faculty member and a current student to find out about today’s Indiana library schools. In this first installment, I traveled to Indiana University-Bloomington (IUB) to visit with Debora Shaw, associate dean and professor of library and information science, and Emily Cooper, first year SLIS student. My questions to them are in italics, with their answers following.
