The theory versus practice issue in library and information science education in general and in cataloging education in particular has long been debated. This may be due in part to the fact that library and information science is a practicing profession. Decreasing budgets, dependence on technology, the availability of bibliographic utilities, and the outsourcing of cataloging may contribute to the debate and concern associated with cataloging education. A new Library and Information Services Program at University College of the University of Denver was designed to incorporate the research and scholarly thought and the practice of the library and information science discipline with other related disciplines. The cataloging component developed for the program utilizes active learning techniques supplemented by a theoretical core. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
