Abstract

This paper relates factors pertaining to the development of professional education programs to the current status of education for information science. Information science education has not yet matured to the level of being articulated in a program plan representing the consensus of members of the profession. Components of curriculum plans are discussed. A topic inventory for information science is presented with indications of its utility in curriculum design and assessment. The author advocates that collective action be undertaken by the information science community to formulate a curriculum plan to orient educators, prospective students, and present and prospective clienteles.
