Abstract
Students may engage in individual work-based projects in a wide range of different courses and work environments. In library and information studies and other professional disciplines such projects are viewed as essential to the development of an appropriate awareness of professional practice. Nevertheless, work based projects pose some unique problems for students, supervisors and assessors. These can be grouped into those arising from: changing agendas and environments, confidentiality, access, links to existing work, and dealing with two audiences. Successful outcomes will only be achieved if all parties are aware of these potential hazards and students are offered appropriate support in negotiating these should this be necessary.
期刊介绍:
Information is widely recognized as a vital resource in economic development. The skills of information handling traditionally associated with libraries, are now in great demand in all sectors, including government, business and commerce. The education and training of information professionals is, therefore, an issue of growing significance. Education for Information has been since 1983 a forum for debate and discussion on education and training issues in the sphere of information handling. It includes refereed full-length articles and short communications on matters of current concern to educators and practitioners alike. Its News section reports on significant activities and events in the international arena.
