Abstract

The core tool for measuring the sustainability of the Library and Information Science (LIS) discipline is the curriculum which has always been a source of concern within the Nigerian space. It was on this premise that the study systematically investigated the redesigning of LIS curriculum for sustainable environmental transformation among students of the Department of LIS, Lead City University (LCU). Findings of the study showed that the majority of students opined that the redesigned curriculum is promoting sustainable environmental transformation as it is equipping the ideal 21st-century librarian with the requisite skill set (70%); redefined curriculum promotes a socially oriented librarian (53.2%); curriculum emphasizes the economic implications of the library for sustainable environmental transformation (43.3%); curriculum broadens the horizon of students further into meeting the information needs of the present clienteles without compromising the future generations (55.7%). The outcome of the study is expected to inform policy in adopting the redefined LIS LCU curriculum in Nigeria.

铅城大学图书馆情报系面向可持续环境转型的图书馆情报学课程再造

衡量图书馆和信息科学学科可持续性的核心工具是课程，这一直是尼日利亚国内关注的问题。正是在此前提下，本研究系统地调查了Lead City University（LCU）LIS系学生为实现可持续环境转型而重新设计LIS课程的情况。研究结果显示，大多数学生认为，重新设计的课程正在促进可持续的环境转型，因为它为理想的21世纪图书馆员提供了必要的技能（70%）；重新定义课程促进了以社会为导向的图书馆员（53.2%）；课程强调图书馆对可持续环境转型的经济影响（43.3%）；课程进一步拓宽了学生的视野，在不影响后代（55.7%）的情况下满足当前客户的信息需求。该研究的结果有望为尼日利亚采用重新定义的LIS LCU课程的政策提供信息。
