Emerging Information Schools

Ron Force writes “Knowledge Management has a story
about the emergence of Information Schools:

“When they were first introduced, library schools were, in effect, trade schools, with practical skills taught by practicing librarians. As library schools matured, they developed theories and observed best practices, constructing a discipline of librarianship to complement the practice of librarianship. Information schools are beginning the same process for knowledge and information work. University information schools do not wish to simply be IT schools where practitioners train others in a practical skill. These schools are creating a body of knowledge to better inform practice.”
