Hello all, Of late, there has been some discussion about the future of doctoral education in the information organization/cataloging area. I am curious to know which schools actually have doctoral students in this area now and how many. I am also curious to know if you feel they will be prepared to teach traditional cataloging courses, as well as information organization and/or metadata courses? I am giving a talk in a couple of weeks about the state of cataloging education and while I have a lot of data about masters courses, I'd like to get a better sense of the current state of doctoral education in this area. Are we facing a big problem or do we have enough people in the pipeline that we may be okay? I am looking for your impressions as well as your numbers. If you would be kind enough to respond, I would greatly appreciate it. You can reply back on this list or to me personally at: [log in to unmask] Thanks, Danny Joudrey Assistant Professor GSLIS, Simmons College Boston, MA
