Education Model

Web-based Information Science Education (WISE) is a collaborative distance education model that increases the quality, access and diversity of online education opportunities. The WISE Consortium is a group of graduate Library and Information Science (LIS) programs founded on three pillars: quality, pedagogy, and collaborations (Montague & Pluzhenskaia, 2007). This chapter outlines the approach to achieving these three pillars and the assessment mechanisms used to measure the consortium’s success. Highlights include WISE Pedagogy, the administrative division of WISE dedicated to providing faculty development resources for online education, and WISE+, an initiative that supports partnerships enabling WISE schools and LIS associations to develop courses together suitable for graduate credit and continuing education. While the WISE consortium is specific to LIS education, the model could be applied more broadly to other disciplines.

International Conference

The conference of the Association of Library and Information Science Education was in February organised in Denver, Colorado. The conference is the only international conference concentrating solely on the library and information science education. The theme of the conference was 'the expanding library and information science universe'. In this report, the author discusses some of the selected topics of the conference, like the changes in the education, the state of the online education and the false media. The next conference is organised in Knoxville Tennessee in September 2019 and the theme is 'exploring learning in a global information context'.
