ALA's Core Competencies of Librarianship
Brian Kenney, at School Library Journal, has an editorial about ALA's Core Competencies of Librarianship, a document prepared by ALA's Presidential Task Force on Library Education. Apparently the guidelines were presented at a public meeting but the document doesn't appear to be widely available. I've searched for it, to no avail--I hope effective searching isn't one of the core competencies, otherwise my librarian credentials might be stripped from me. If you find a copy of the competencies, please share them. In the meantime, here's a copy of a draft statement of core competencies from July, 2005.
