Description of the discussion:  There is an ongoing tension in the library =
and information science field between the demands of preparing professional=
s and the forward-looking research mission of many of today's LIS =
programs. How can this seeming division between research and practice be =
bridged in curriculum, delivery modes (distance education), and accreditati=
on? How are today's LIS programs serving the existing profession and =
helping shape the profession of tomorrow? This panel discussion will =
explore current thinking in the LIS academy and seek to highlight the =
sometimes precarious balance of LIS education.
