Extractions: Nancy Vigezzi The Career Track Planning Guide is a comprehensive countrywide assessment of schools of library science and job postings for graduates with degrees in this field. Conducted during February and March 2001, its intended purpose is to reveal trends and patterns throughout the United States in both job postings and school curriculums. Based on these findings, suggestions have been made for selected courses of study, and recommended sources of further readings have been supplied. Additional documentation has also been provided to assist interested students in pursuing further assessment of jobs and schools. School Analyses (the competition) Suggested Curriculum (the competitive applicant) The information technology explosion has altered the field of librarianship forever. The image of the old fashioned librarian is being replaced by one of a computer savvy information specialist. But while traditional librarians may face the new century with uncertainty as to how their jobs will evolve, library schools have begun to adapt and prepare students for all these exciting changes. Indeed, many schools of library science have changed their names or added the word information to reflect the addition of technology courses to the curriculum, as well as offering courses or entire programs online, recognizing the fact that many students are full-time workers with families.

Molded by its geographical location on the plains, it has been a pioneer first of correspondence learning, then of distance communication and learning, and now of interactive media development for all kinds of education and information. The amount of activity is awesome.
