Beyond the MLS
John Unsworth, Dean
Graduate School of Library and Information Science
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Beyond = after or instead?
GSLIS program objectives
teaching graduates to anticipate social and technological changes, and promote change to advance the profession;
fostering critical thinking about literature and research in LIS and related fields;
encouraging commitment to high standards  of practice, conduct, responsibility, and service; and
preparing for  evaluation and development of services.
We still need to teach and learn these things.
