GEN:Librarian Ed, Who's Driving the Changes aol 5.0

[Robin Boltz <FUTUREMLSECU@AOL.COM>]

Greetings:

Sorry about the mixup--I keep aol 5.0 on my computer just for communicating
with LM_NET, but I forgot and sent the message through on 6.0. I apologize
for the duplication.  Anyhow...

I have been working on a project concerning exit requirements in MLS/MLIS
programs around the country this semester.  A question occurred to me, and
though it's not within the scope of my study, it piqued my curiosity:

Who's driving the changes that have occurred in library science education for
school librarians over the last few years?  Are students asking for and
getting more technologically up-to-date programs? Are universities requiring
technology competencies and web-searching classes based on their own research
about what is required to be a competent school library media coordinator
today?  Are employers posting different requirements for librarians today
than they were 10 years ago?  Is it some combination of the above?  Am I
missing something entirely?

Who better to come to than LM_NET?  I would appreciate your perspective!
