Qualitative Research Foreign Countries Information Science Education Comparative Education Case Studies Curriculum Development Curriculum Evaluation Curriculum Research Stakeholders Program Attitudes Educational Development Course Content Applying a qualitative research design and using questionnaires, interviews, observation, focus groups, and debate, this study examines the phenomena and implications of change on LIS curricula, the stakeholders' perception of the current curriculum, the processes of curriculum design and review, and the impact of social, economic, political and technological factors at the East African School of Library and Information Science (EASLIS).
