Description
Digital Library Education Since digital libraries emerged as an interdisciplinary field of study in the early 1990s, many LIS schools have added courses on digital libraries to their curricula. Several research reports have provided results of surveys on how the area of digital libraries was taught in various schools. Spink and Cool (1999) discussed the content of courses offered by 20 different schools and suggested a curriculum model for LIS schools. A survey by Saracevic and Dalbello (2001) indicated that more than 89% of ALA-accredited programs have various forms of digital library courses or content. Saracevic and Dalbello used a broad definition of digital libraries and reviewed course titles, course descriptions and course syllabi. More recently, Pomerantz, Oh, Yang, Fox, and Wildemuth(2006) identified a core set of content for digital library education through the analysis of readings from the syllabi of more than 40 digital libraries courses. Pomerantz et al. found that 52% of accredited LIS programs offer courses with the phrase "digital library" or "digital libraries" in the title. The definition of the term digital library will influence the results of an analysis of this nature, but clearly the majority of LIS programs cover digital libraries in the curriculum.
