| Abstract: | Whispers and rumors about the iSchool movement lead some to fear that this represents yet another shift away from the valued
traditions of library schools, threatening something far different than what library science pioneers ever envisioned. Predating
the iSchool movement, however, were other programmatic shifts such as those that led to the formalization of graduate archival
education. This essay argues that such evolution is essential to our future, as iSchools tackle the increasingly complex issues
confronting a digital society. We consider the mission and history of iSchools and of archival studies, the basic elements
and concepts of archival studies that are critical to iSchools, and the relationship between iSchools and the changing nature
of personal and institutional archives. |
