Lowering the Barriers to Entry into LIS Master Programs

Abstract

In most universities in Europe, the barriers to enter into a LIS master degree after earning a degree in another subject are typically high. The same is true for the international mobility of students enrolled in BA or MA LIS programs in Europe. The EINFOSE project (Information Science Education: Encouraging mobility and learning outcomes harmonization) aims at lowering this barriers by offering summer schools on core topics of information science and by providing open educational resources (OER) on these topics in the long term.
