Abstract
Digital disruption and an increasingly networked society drive rapid change in
many professions and a corresponding need for change in tertiary education.
Across the world, information education has, to date, prepared graduates for
employment in discrete professions, such as librarianship, records management,
archives and teacher librarianship. However, contemporary information practices
are less defined and are demanding of new professional skill-sets and
understandings. This paper reports a study that consulted Australia’s tertiary
academics about the current circumstances of information education in the
academy and elicited a vision and a concern for future directions in Australian
information education.
