Exploring Education For Digital Librarians provides a fresh and new perspective on the discipline and profession of Library and Information Science (LIS). It focuses on preparing students for their careers as digital librarians who will deal with the present and future virtual information environments. The authors explore the knowledge base and possible theoretical construction for the academic discipline, suggest a model that could be used internationally to prepare digital librarians for their future professional information careers, and offer an overview of the library and i-School situation which is informative and forward thinking.
