Abstract:
This theoretical paper aims to develop a new model for the assessment of LIS education courses, to prepare students with the fundamentals of librarianship so they are useful in their jobs locally and internationally. Arguing for a study of the intersection of philosophy of information (PI), social epistemology (SE), and library and information science (LIS), will yield a set of guidelines to better inform those engaged in selecting common core courses for LIS professionals internationally. This is work in progress. It’s in the interest of the author that this discussion continues in LIS forums to allow further expanding the views herewith presented.
