Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: At the end of 2023 the LIS Forward initiative released the position paper, Ensuring a Vibrant Future for LIS in iSchools, Friday Harbor Papers, Volume 1, proclaiming that “the contemporary multidisciplinary iSchool is both the greatest strength and the greatest risk for library and information science (LIS) and librarianship.” The paper was aimed at stimulating discussion and debate on how LIS can thrive and grow in research intensive iSchools. This second volume of the Friday Harbor Papers compiles responses to the position paper, representing over forty voices from researchers, educators, professionals, and thought leaders. Collectively, the authors provide informative, insightful, and provocative perspectives that enrich and advance the conversation and offer new propositions for strengthening LIS.
