Questions submitted by the IUPUI Library Faculty for Guest Speaker Barbara Fischler

1. With the ever-expanding technology, has SLIS considered offering short, professional development courses (workshops, seminars, etc) for librarians at IUPUI? (Ex: A refresher reference course using the WWW as a reference tool?).

2. What is the future plan/vision the SLIS presence at IUPUI?

3. How do you see the relationship between IUPUI and Bloomington SLIS programs evolving?

4. Please comment on the Medical Informatics/Health Sciences Librarianship curricula that may be offered by SLIS in the future.

5. If local professional organizations (example: Indiana Special Libraries Association) wish to recruit and include SLIS students in their activities, what types of activities and programs do you feel would be most helpful?

6. Does SLIS see a market for practicing librarians returning to school to work on the MIS degree?
