The BSLISE, a working group of IFLA, has re-launched the project profiling library and information science (LIS) students worldwide – “The Student Spotlight”.
The Building Strong LIS Education (BSLISE) Working Group is devoted to strengthening the international quality of library and information science (LIS) education, and consequently, the excellence of LIS professional practice. It comprises members from across the globe and is an initiative of the IFLA Sections on Education and Training (SET) and Library Theory and Research (LTR).
How does LIS education vary from one country to another? How does the experience remain the same? What is currently working for LIS students? — The Student Spotlight project hopes to address these questions in an engaging, interesting social media initiative. It is one of the ways to incorporate the LIS student experience into conversations surrounding LIS education.
Developed by BSLISE project assistant Amanda Thomson (USA), now an MLIS graduate, this project started its coverage across the globe in 2020. Read more here and on our webpage. See past student spotlights here and on our social media.
