crl-16486	Tilley, Carol; Walter, Scott	What’s in a Name?	2016-01-01	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2630	88	39	We believe there is something in a name, and that it is time to consider what we might do to explore what that something might be through research into professional education, changes in the faculty workforce, and the values that students and in-service professionals embrace when they choose to study and pursue a career in libraries and librarianship Let us begin by acknowledging, as Juliet does, that names, by themselves, do not define a thing. Even if the growth in enrollments, alone, was sufficient argument against any concern with the trend to embrace “information” over “libraries” in nam- ing our field, it is an argument that no longer obtains, as enrollment in these programs has seen a steep decline in recent years.7 That decline is one context within which the future of professional education must be considered, and not only in LIS; consider the situation in legal education, which has seen a similar decline in program enrollments and similar concerns about the market for recent graduates.8 Another context to consider in higher education is the growth (and role) of contingent faculty in the academy.	cache/crl-16486.pdf	txt/crl-16486.txt
