Designing and Developing an Open Education Course for Library Science Students

of introducing a new , untested course . Smaller enrollment LIS programs that operate on tight margins , may be less willing to take on a new course and its associated costs , particularly if student enrollment is likely to be lean . Even the introduction of open education courses at just a few LIS programs would raise greater awareness in the open education community that there is value in inviting LIS students to join and contribute to the advancement of the movement . Afterall , with respect to members of that community who represent libraries , LIS students are our future leaders and best opportunity to achieve a sustainable future . We must find better ways to educate and include them .
