Good Riddance to 2005!

摘要

I'm glad 2005 is over, but it gave hope for 2006. It is almost as if each negative event, practice, or idea from 2005 created a positive possibility for 2006. Consider library education. While many of our LIS programs still struggle to find an identity that gives them the academic status of disciplines comparable to the "true sciences," the students are getting better and better. Not only that, the overwhelming majority really want to be librarians and frequently complain about the lack of connections between the programs and the practice.
