Bryan Carson said something about ALA in one of his messages (to quote
Bryan), "One thing that I have come across is that ALA accreditation doesn't
encourage library school faculty to be "practicing librarians.""
Should library schools reconsider their ALA accreditation if it hinders them
from better serving their students and their needs? I have heard rumors that
a few library schools are trying to get away from ALA accreditation to
concentrate on tweaking their programs to fit today's librarians.
Should there be something new to replace ALA accreditation? Any thoughts on
this topic?
