Reflective practice: revisiting pedagogy and reaffirming core value

An opportunity for Australian and North American Library and Information Science (LIS) educators to candidly explore professional education practice similarities and differences, came with a seminar staged in Adelaide in December 1999. The seminar featured keynote addresses from Professor Ken Haycock and Dr Ann Curry, both from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and Dr Ross Todd from the University of Technology, Sydney. The seminar attracted about thirty high-profile educators and practitioners representing the major Australian schools. This report documents the major issues discussed at the two-day seminar.
