Information management in the Baltic, Nordic, and UK LIS schools

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse information management study programmes and courses given at the Nordic, Baltic, and British library and information studies schools, and also to highlight the differences that depend on different backgrounds, traditions and experiences and common features. The paper consists of three parts. The first introduces some earlier research done by the scholars in the area of information management education or helping to clarify the issue. The second provides an overview of higher education institutions teaching information management in the Baltic States, Nordic countries, and the UK. The third is an attempt to find coherence in study programmes of information management and summarise the concepts they reflect.
