Interesting article from Library Journal... After More Than a Decade of Debate, ALA Approves Core Competencies http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6632572.html?rssid=191 The American Library Association Presidential Task Force on Library Education has finally approved a set of Core Competencies that every MLS student show acquire. Current students (especially new students) in the MLS program might be interested in reading the document itself. It can be found on the ALA website as a Word Document :\ http://www.ala.org/ala/educationcareers/careers/corecomp/index.cfm Cheers, Justin -- Justin Grimes Research Associate Center for Information Policy and E-Government College of Information Studies, University of Maryland [log in to unmask] 301-538-5812
