Educators and employers agree that it is important for information professionals to have strong communication skills, but few library and information science (LIS) schools teach courses specifically in technical and professional communication. A content analysis of recent job advertisements for information professionals, titles and descriptions of courses offered at American Library Association (ALA)-accredited LIS schools, and recent job announcements for LIS faculty reveals that, while effective communication skills are widely sought by employers, few LIS schools are addressing that need. This paper argues that instruction in technical and professional communication is vital to the success of information professionals in the workplace and that LIS schools should recruit faculty and develop courses to support such instruction.
