| contents | Vision to Purpose to Power: A Quest for Excellence in the Education of Library and Information Science Professionals. Hannigan, Jane Anne Change Strategies Educational Change Educational Needs Educational Quality Futures (of Society) Graduate Study Higher Education Information Science Information Scientists Librarians Library Education Library Schools Perhaps librarianship is faced with problems even greater than those of education. In fact, its very existence is being challenged. Library schools have consistently tried to educate almost all librarians and information scientists in one mold. This simply cannot be done--it never could. Library educators must give up their rather immature notion that library schools can be all things to all persons; they must accept that this is impossible and select the professional territory in which excellence can be achieved. This paper, part of the library and information science community's response to "A Nation at Risk," includes discussion on: (1) the process and problems of change; (2) criteria for excellence; (3) students and admission; (4) accreditation, certification, and continuing education; (5) faculty; (6) deans; (7) technology; (8) the research environment; (9) cooperative efforts; (10) funding; and (11) curricular planning. Four alternative curricular scenarios in library and information science education are outlined: (1) end-user scenario; (2) process scenario: management of information; (3) product scenario: technical, automated information science; and (4) specialty scenario: school library media education.
