Abstract

The education of information professionals needs constant re-examination and renewal if it is to remain relevant to the needs of society. Rapid change in the environments in which information is managed calls for the re-evaluation of old skills and the development of new skills. From our perspectives as a new professional and an experienced academic we define some of what is needed to enable library and information studies education to evolve quickly so that it can produce the ‘fearless information professionals’ that are needed. We aim to stimulate robust debate, reassessment, and revision.
