Abstract: Educational programs for library and information science will be changing during the next decade in order to meet society's need for trained information professionals capable of working in libraries, in governmental and industrial information centers, and as information consultants and entrepreneurs. In seeking to discern educational trends, present practices are analyzed in terms of the influences of educational externalities over which the institution has relatively little control, and the educational internalities over which the school has jurisdiction. Based upon this analysis, possible future trends and developments in library and information science education are presented not as a blueprint for the future but as a stimulus for discussion and planning.
