Jaya Raju

Abstract

The article discusses articulation between university and technikon LIS education and training in the context of the historical evolution and traditional purposes of university and technikon education and training; major similarities and differences between university and technikon LIS education and training and current changes in higher education in South Africa to effect a new ethos of transformation, equity and efficiency. The article highlights issues that are critical to deliberations on articulating LIS programmes at universities and technikons, an issue which education institutions are facing increasingly as students seek greater mobility within a transforming higher education sector.
