- On Information Science Education: A Rebellious View. Meadow, Charles T. Computer Science Computer Science Education Curriculum Development Curriculum Problems Educational Needs Educational Problems Information Science Information Scientists Labor Market Library Education Library Schools Library Science Speeches The first of information science is in something of a jumble, because there is no universally accepted definition of the field, much less an agreement on what the core information is or what curriculum should be followed. Information science teachers must decide what kind of graduate they are trying to turn out in order to be competitive with business and computer science graduates. The job market for information science graduates is potentially larger than the current one composed of libraries and information marketing companies. In order to be competitive in this larger job market, information science curriculum should be strengthened so that library science graduates know information technology and how to use it on an equal basis with computer and business graduates. An attempt should be made to attract more business and science students into the field of information science. (KKC)
