Description
Summary:Libraries will play a crucial role in meeting the goal of establishing the learning society mandated in "A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform," the report of the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) in the Department of Education administers several library programs and sponsors research which will contribute to the improvement of the nation's library system, including library and information science education. Such programs under the Higher Education Act include the Title II-A, College Library Resources Program; Title II-B, Library Career Training Program; Title II-C, Strengthening Research Library Resources Program, and the Library Research and Demonstration Program. It is crucial for library educators to attract and educate dynamic, scholarly librarians and information scientists who will contribute to the scheme for educational excellence by furthering the educational process in schools and in the community.
