Are Library and Information Science Faculty Ready to Participate in Information Policy Advising?
Sy, Karen J.
Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v30 n4 p298-314 Spr 1990

It is suggested that LIS faculty should participate in policy formation when their research agenda coincides with the political agenda. (18 references) (CLB)
