[Sigsti-l] More programs for next year...

[Hall, Deanna]

Hello SIG/STI-

Item 4. in your list of panels for next year caught my eye.
I organized and moderated a debate-format panel which was
sponsored by SIG/IAE at ASIS '85 in Las Vegas (session #68
in the program for that year, if you want to look at the
session abstract and panelists' names) titled Staffing the
Information Center Research Function: The Case for Hiring
Dual Competencies vs. On-the-Job Learning.  Of the 4
panelists, Dick Blue's paper is published in the Proceedings
for that year.  Claire McInerney was one of the other
panelists, and may still have a copy of her remarks.  In
addition, I did a fair amount of background research to set
the stage for the debate, and have copies of it.

In my view, the issue should not be presented as a case of  
either physical science or library science, but rather as a case of, "Why
not 
both physical science and library science?" (hence "dual competencies") (my
own background).  Whatever the viewpoint, it has
been too long ignored by the library/information science education
community, and is overdue to be aired again.  I would like to collaborate
with whoever is putting this session together, in the hope of advancing the
status of the perceptions surrounding this issue.
