Michele Besant, the librarian at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said the Association of Library and Information Science statistics show a steady increase in library information science enrollments over the last 10 years. Further, at hers and other schools there is a trend for students to be entering masters programs at a younger age.

UPDATE: Libraries without books? (The Daily Herald)
Glad to see remote resources getting attention. In other words, the library and librarian of today (and of the future) extending beyonds the four walls of the building. That’s a point we’ve been making on ResourceShelf since day one of our web site. Thanks to David Dalka for the news tip. Btw, David just got a library card for his city and was blown away at what was available to him from the comfort and privacy of his home, office, favorite Internet cafe, etc.
