4 ABSTRACTS DARIUSZ GRYGROWSKI Institute of Information and Book Studies The University of Warsaw RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN LIBRARIES KEYWORDS: Library budget sources. Evaluation of library efficiency. Return on investment. ABSTRACT: Objective The evaluation of library efficiency and benefits brought by the libraries to the society has become one of visible trends in library management studies in the recent years. Some libraries, interested in proving their efficiency and usefulness to the community they serve, conduct or commission the analyses of return on investment in libraries. Some of these analyses prove the high rate of return on investment expressed with monetary units. The author discusses the need for such analyses and applied methods. Research methods The author uses the analysis of the literature and reports on return on investment in libraries. Results and conclusions The analysis of return on investment in libraries the result of which is the value of library services expressed with monetary units may be controversial, in particular as some components in such analyses appear to be considerably approximated. However, despite those objections the calculation of library service value may be considered an acceptable and sometimes even indispensable marketing activity.

MATUSIAK Morgridge College of Education University of Denver MARY STANSBURY Morgridge College of Education University of Denver EWA BARCZYK University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries EDUCATING A NEW GENERATION OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE PROFESSIONALS: A UNITED STATES PERSPECTIVE KEYWORDS: Library and information science education. Library schools. Library and information science curriculum. Accreditation. Library and information science professionals. ABSTRACT: Objective This article examines the U.S. model of library and information science (LIS) education in light of the changes brought about by information and communication technology. The accepted model of professional preparation in the United States has emphasized graduate education on a Master s level from LIS programs accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). Research method The authors trace the historical development of this approach and provide an overview of the ALA accreditation process. Furthermore, they examine the strategies of LIS programs in adjusting to the changing information environment, present the debate about the ischool movement and discuss the evolution of the core curriculum. In addition, the article explores the relationship between LIS education and the field of practice and presents a practitioner s perspective on educating library professionals. Results and conclusions The authors

7 EWA JADWIGA KURKOWSKA Institute of Information and Book Studies Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun ONLINE COURSES IN POLISH ACADEMIC LIBRARIES KEYWORDS: E-learning courses. Online courses. Academic libraries. E- learning. ABSTRACT: Objective The author discusses the degree of involvement of Polish academic libraries in education reflected in the e-learning courses they conduct. Research method The article is based on the results of the analysis of the educational offer provided by the libraries in question on their websites. Results and conclusions E-learning courses have become one of educational tools often used by libraries, yet many of them are fairly restricted and offer limited methods of learners' self-evaluation. They usually cover the library basic instruction and teach other information skills to a very limited extent. E-learning courses offered by libraries, although used more and more frequently, still need to be developed and refined.

ABSTRACT: Objective The author discusses the degree of involvement of Polish academic libraries in education reflected in the e-learning courses they conduct.
