Outline of Presentation  Introduction  Discussion  Conclusion

Introduction - The future of the Information Professions: increased diversification or convergence? - Technology ‘merely’ an enabler: galleries, libraries, archives and museums linked philosophically and intellectually Library of Alexandria

Discussion Library of Celsus, Ephasus - Historical development of galleries, libraries, archives and museums -Development of separate institutions and technology as a catalyst for convergence - Professional education - Filling the gap

Historical development of galleries, libraries, archives and museums - Library of Alexandria - Cabinets of Curiosity - From integration to separation - New formats: where do they belong?

Professional education for GLAM - no single qualification recognised by the major accrediting professional associations “As long as librarians, archivists, and museologists [...] continue to be educated in isolation from one another, [...] real boundaries to collection, management, and access of material will remain” (Given and McTavish, 2010, p. 23) - Cultural Heritage Information Management (CHIM) programme at the Catholic University of America

Research problem - to maximise the potential of the digital environment, information professionals will need to work across blurred institutional boundaries - existing educational structures continue to compartmentalise students - lack of theoretical development (Myburgh, 2011)

What are the education needs of informatio n professionals in the cultural heritage envir onment?  What are the current and potential roles and resp onsibilities of information professionals employed by cultural heritage institutions?  What are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to succeed at their jobs now and into the f uture? Research questions

Conclusion - Convergence of Information Professions is not new - Very little empirical research - Deliver education that reflects the changing needs of the sector The Oracle at Delphi
