There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
We are engaged in a profession and
typically work for organizations that are committed to lifelong learning. On
Thursday, February 25, #medlibs are gathering on Twitter to talk about education.
Here are
some questions that we may discuss.
- If you were to enter graduate school today, knowing how you would work today, what courses do you believe graduate schools of library and information science should be teaching now?
- What do you need to learn now to be more successful in your current position?
- What do you need to learn now to move into your dream job?
- What intangible skills or knowledge does it take to be effective as a librarian in your organization?
- If you supervise, what skills and knowledge do you believe are lacking in new graduates?
- What do you want to learn now?
- What are your learning goals and how do you achieve them?
