Purpose... Kellogg CRISTAL-ED (Coalition on Reinventing Information Science, Technology, and Library Education) is an international, multidisciplinary, collaborative consortium whose mission is to define new professional specializations that will serve society's needs for information access in this rapidly merging age of digital data, information, and knowledge. We look forward to your participation. To garner a wide range of opinions, exchange ideas, and learn from others involved in comparable activities, the School of Information began a moderated electronic mail discussion group. The CRISTAL-ED discussion was launched on Friday, January 20, 1995. Initially, the CRISTAL-ED discussion focused on the vision of the new information and library studies (ILS) education, and then moved to targeting planning, prototyping, and implementing new core curricula for such education. We invite you to join the CRISTAL-ED electronic mail discussion and work with us to discover the knowledge and skills for a new academic program that is committed to producing leaders who will create, organize, manage, and apply new forms of libraries and information environments to meet human needs. Not only do we feature discussions that parallel project activities, but we devote time to promising ideas that arise during focused discussions.
