Research and Rescue

June 15th, 2005

Save Library and Information Studies is a desparately needed organization. Goals include:

“+ To promote the virtues of a career in the library and information industry among American youth, particularly among ethnicities that are underrepresented in the field.

+ To advocate for independent learning, information literacy, and equal access to information as essentials in a democratic society.

+ To create a financial base for library development and innovation.

+ To reduce the sense of frustration for those who feel overburdened by the information resources and technological gadgetry of the Information Era.”

Not sure I agree with that last one, but the other three work for me. (link via del.icio.us)
