A Vision of Archival Education at the Millennium

Column editor's note: This is the third in a series of articles appearing from time to time in this column that address the teaching of particular areas of interest within library and information science (LIS). Archives, as an area of LIS, do not receive enough attention in many LIS programs. This lack of attention in LIS education is partially due to the lack of qualified archival instructors on the regular faculty of many LIS schools, and partially due to the lack of understanding of the nature of archival education itself. Helen Tibbo's active involvement in archives and archival education since her doctoral years makes her unusually qualified to speak about archival education and its future. If you have a particular area of interest in teaching or curriculum development you could share with our readers, I would like to hear from you.
