Willard, Patricia; Wilson, Concepcion S.
Australian Academic & Research Libraries, v35 n4 Dec 2004
Australian library and information studies professional education experienced major changes over the past 15 years or so. There has been a growth in first professional level masters programs. Some schools have been involved in organisational relocation. Program structural changes have aimed to make programs more flexible and appealing to prospective students. These changes have not produced increased enrolments; rather, enrolments have fallen. (Contains 5 tables and 12 notes.)
