Abstract
Rapid advances in information technology and the growing importance of information in daily life have created great demands for professionals who handle information on behalf of others. Educational programs in several disciplines are responding to this need, but the response seems directed at grafting information content onto existing discipline oriented programs rather than building interdisciplinary programs free of bounds of allegiance to one discipline, one technology, one area of application, one field of practice. Despite recent shrinkage and, in some cases, demise of accredited programs in library and information science, there are hopeful signs that these programs will compete successfully with other disciplines for hegemony in education for information science. © 1988 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
