Registration is open for the next LIS Pedagogy Chat, “Theory or Practice: What Should We Expect from MLS Programs?”. It will take place online Friday, May 9, at 1:00 PM CDT.
What do we expect from LIS education? Should programs focus on the theories and concepts that guide the field or on practical, job-oriented skills that graduates will use in the workplace? How might the expectations of faculty, students, employers, and other stakeholders differ and how might we reconcile those differing expectations?
The session will consist of a brief framing by Matt Noe (Harvard University), followed by a facilitated discussion
