3 4 INTRODUCTION

Social context and the Proposal development

This proposal of new information sciences curriculum attempts to establish a coherent program that would be compliant and comparable with other similar studies in Croatia and in a number of European universities. At the same time, the program tries to preserve national and cultural singularities as well as substantial experience acquired over more than a quarter of a century of academic education in the area of information sciences in Croatia. The program also takes into account relevant strategic goals of Croatian higher education system as well as provisions of the Act on Scientific Activity and Higher Education (later in the text: Act) that laid foundations for a new scheme of program organisation at higher education institutions. Department of Information Sciences, the proposer of the new Information Sciences Curriculum (later in the text: Curriculum) believes that systematisation of interdisciplinary program in the area of information sciences is of vital importance for the successful participation of the J. J. Strossmayer University in the reformational processes of higher education, since the information science experts are, among others, important binding elements for facilitation of a new integrated system of academic education, organisation of research and cooperation with economy. It is widely known and accepted, particularly in the societies that build their national developmental strategies upon the idea of knowledge society i.e. learning society, that information and knowledge are crucial elements of development, and that educated information professionals are unavoidable in selection, acquisition, organisation, preservation, evaluation and use of information resources and documents on all media. The proposed Curriculum should therefore, among other things, enable education of modern experts in areas of so called e-economy, e-government, e-learning and e-publishing. It should also increase horizontal and vertical student mobility within the Osijek University but also between Osijek and other Croatian and European universities and Rutgers University in US (Cooperation Agreement between Osijek University and Rutgers University was signed in 2004) offering similar or related programs. Proposed program aims to offer students from other fields of knowledge, after successful completion of their undergraduate programs, to acquire, by participating in graduate and postgraduate programs in information sciences, knowledge and skills necessary for competent carrying out of everyday activities in their original field of interest, that are also increasingly based on new technology and use of new information resources.

Mission of the IS Department Department of Information sciences offers education in the field of information sciences which will enable its students to become polyvalent information specialists through educational programs and research topics based on observation and interpretation of the transfer of information process in the modern society, heritage preservation and design of information services in the knowledge and lifelong learning society. Our vision is: information sciences curriculum that will, thanks to its orientation to new technologies, interdisciplinary studies and possibility of distance education, attract students and employees in information sector by its openness to different study programs, institution-partners, and potential students from neighboring countries, and facilitate close cooperation of university and industrial, governmental, cultural and educational institutions where practical training will take place.

Aims of the proposed curriculum Respond to the growing needs of the society for educated information specialists; Offer basic knowledge and skills necessary for future information specialists and at the same time arouse curiosity of information sciences students and students of other disciplines in special aspects of information work which require additional education (specialist training) at graduate level;

5 Inform about hot issues in information professions and at interdisciplinary level (such as, multiculturalism, information ethics, information needs of people with special needs, preservation of written heritage, management of information services, reading promotion, development and management of material and information), thus creating a framework for interpretation of contribution of other disciplines to the development of information sciences and importance of information sciences for other disciplines; Contribute to systematic quality of research in the field of information sciences and encourage interdisciplinary research of the phenomenon of information society and demonstrate the need and value of research and teaching in the field of information sciences (in particular as related to the postgraduate study program); Inform about the needs of the modern society for information literate citizens and the role of information specialist in promotion of literacy, reading and quality leisure activities; Introduce students at University with philosophy, principles and ethics related to transfer of knowledge and information and development of information society; Enable student and teacher exchange on the basis of agreed cooperation and encourage students to surmount linguistic and cultural barriers.

1. a) Reasons for the new curriculum

Proposed program is based on the principle of active student involvement in teaching processes, stronger interaction of students, teachers, librarians, and computer and telecommunication professionals in relation to the use of teaching resources and tools, and application of new technologies in teaching.

Purposefulness of the proposed curriculum – assessment A mention should also be made that many public institutions and private companies feel the need for educated experts to mediate information, in particular electronic information, to their employers. In order to be successful, professionals today need to be skilled to deal with modern technology, to evaluate professional information, to compile analytic reports, etc. So far such tasks have been done by inadequatelly trained and semi-skilled personnel or, very rarely, librarians i.e. informatologists. Apart from full-time degree programs in librarianship, both universities i.e. Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb and Faculty of Philosophy in Osijek, offer highly popular part–time degree programs. The reason lies in the Croatian Library Act (passed in 1997) which stipulates that only persons with a degree in librarianship can work in libraries. In Croatia, there is approximately 1000 (primary and secondary) school libraries (actually, there are 1470 schools, but some do not have libraries), 130 academic libraries (university, college, faculty libraries), 250 public libraries, a number of special libraries and National and University Library, with approximately 1800 positions for graduated librarians. This data shows that there is a need for ca 80-100 graduated librarians annually. Since there is an insufficient number of graduated librarians and there are no unemployed graduated librarians for periods longer than two to three months, institutions often employ persons who do not have a degree in librarianship. However, these persons are then required to enrol (part-time) in library school and take state exam within five years after they have started working. Therefore, 30 to 60 students enrol in part-time library program at University of Zagreb and ca 30 in Osijek and the same number in Zadar (dislocated part-time program in librarianship in Zadar is offered by University of Osijek). In the last three years new technologies are very much employed in part-time teaching, particularly WebCT and teleconferences. As a part of the proposed Curriculum, for the first time in Croatia, a degree programme in Publishing and Bookselling has been offered. Programme has been developed on the basis of results obtained from surveys that looked into the need for such university degree and support of the Association of Croatian Publishers and Booksellers - ACPB. Despite the fact that there are almost 2000 registered publishing houses in Croatia, several

6 hundreds of bookshops, and that the electronic publishing is ever more growing, their personnel have no university education in this field and are mainly trained on the job. Therefore, the proposed program would provide opportunity for education of those professionals (publishers and booksellers) and, at the same time, enable them to work in other information institutions, in electronic publishing and publishing projects. Since the educational programs of the aforementioned professionals are offered at universities in many developed countries, in particular by institutions educating information professionals (librarians, archivists, documentalists, communicologists, publishers, information mediators, and others), and that the approach and organization of teaching differs from one institution to another, this program was based on recommendations of professional associations (such as IPA, and ACPB) and the understanding of special needs of this sector in Croatia and neighbouring countries (e.g. Slovenia is interested in the publishing program, since there is no such degree program in Slovenia).

Relation with current scientific knowledge in the field Our surveys have identified an extreme diversity of university programs. Just a few observations shall be singled out: we identified university programs in library science, and library and archive science; broad-based programs in information science – related to economy, communicology, museology, etc., publishing and bookselling programs, and library studies with special emphasis on electronic publishing, programs offering wide scope of optional modules aimed at students’ special interests. We set off, of course, from the existing situation and needs for academically educated professionals in the whole of Croatia, but we also adhere to the recommendations of international institutions/associations in the field of library, information and archival studies (recommendations of IFLA, ASIST, ICA, IPA etc.) as well as the conclusions of the Round Table on Library Education, held in October 2002 at the Faculty of Philosophy (at the time, Faculty of Education) in Osijek, and international Round table on Education for Publishing at the University of Zadar, held in September 2003. Both events were organised by the Department of Librarianship (today: Information Sciences).

Comparability with LIS curricula at distinguished foreign institutions Since education of information professionals in the broad environment of information sciences is offered at university level in many developed countries, in particular at higher education institutions educating library and information professionals, this proposal was drawn closer to curricula comparable with needs and possibilities of educational institutions in Croatia, including the possibility for student and teacher exchanges. Possible approaches to the new information sciences curriculum, as well as new ways of collaboration with other universities and schools/departments at the Faculty of Philosophy and other faculties at the Osijek University, as well as Croatian and foreign universities, was discussed at a number of meetings. Proposed Curriculum for education of information professionals is not equally comparable with degree programmes in countries members of EU and our neighbouring countries, in particular in relation to its approach, but in semesters of curriculum and organization of teaching it is most closely related to programs in the UK (e.g. Aberdeen, Aberystwyth, Loughborough, Sheffield, Oxford Brooks), Germany (Berlin, Leipzig, Stuttgart), France (Paris, University Rene Descartes), Austria (Eisenstadt), Poland (Krakow), and Norway (Oslo).

1. b) Past experience of the curriculum proposer

The second, recently established Department of Librarianship (today: Information Sciences) at the Faculty of Philosophy, University J.J. Strossmayer in Osijek, has enrolled the sixth generation of its students. Every year approximately 30 students enter the degree program in Librarianship & Croatian Language and Literature, and from 2003 yet another combination is

7 possible – Librarianship & Pedagogy. From 2004 any combination from the Faculty of Philosophy study programs is possible (e.g. Librarianship and Pedagogy, Librarianship and Philosophy, etc.). By December 2004, 13 full-time students (first and second generation) graduated. From 2003 a dislocated undergraduate course in librarianship has been offered in Vinkovci. Cooperation Agreement has been signed by Zadar and Osijek University and from 2004 a four-year full-time undergraduate course (Osijek curriculum) is offered at University of Zadar. A total of 36 studenats is enrolled. Education programs include wide use of new teaching methods and ICT (4 online courses, videoconferencing etc. – with the support of CARNet's Edupoint Center).

1. c) Partners

Parners include following institutions: other departments from the Faculty of Philosophy, teachers from Faculty of Law, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Electronic Engeenering from the Uniuversity J. J. Strossmayer in Osijek, colleagues from Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, National and University Library, Publishing company Skolska knjiga etc. The Cooperation Agreement with the School of Communication, information and library studies at Rutgers University, New Jersey, US (June 2004), was finalised after five years of co-organisation of international conference Libraries in the Digital Age (Dubrovnik). During this conference a number of special workshops for Information science undergraduates and postgraduates from Croatia were organised. The cooperation agreements between Osijek and Eisenstadt (Austria), Osijek and Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Osijek and Oxford Brookes (UK) are under development.

1. d) Student mobility

The program has been prepared in such a way to facilitate exchange of both students and teachers within Croatia, especially in relation to recently initiated cooperation with Zadar University and the preparation for implementation of European postgraduate course organised by Oxford Brookes, Oxford, UK. In this respect, some co-operational efforts are already underway with Ljubljana. Program negotiations with Eisenstadt, Austria, and University of Gotteburg, Boras, Sweden, are also in its final phase.

1. e) Other elements

The full proposal of the new curriculum (undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level) has been prepared in full in May 2004, and after revision submitted and approved by the Faculty’s Senat on December 22, 2004. The Proposal has altogether 389 pages.

PART II

Genaral Data

9 10 2. INTRODUCTION

In line with Article 69, 70, 71, 75, 76, 77 and 78 of the Act on Scientific Activity and Higher Education, and ESPB/ECTS recommendations, we propose Curriculum and implementation plan for a full-time, six-semester undergraduate course and four-semester graduate course (3+2), and six-semester postgraduate course (3 years) in Information Sciences. Part of the undergraduate and graduate courses in information sciences including the doctoral dissertation shall be carried out in cooperation with Zadar University, Croatia, Rutgers University, US (Cooperation Agreement is signed), and Department of Library Science, Information Science and Book Studies at Ljubljana University and High School for Information in Eisenstadt (Cooperation Agreement is underway). Proposed program is envisioned as a special form and part of the lifelong learning and continuous professional development (CPD) process. Together with the CPD programs at the Training Centre for Continuing Education of Librarians in Zagreb, program is planned to be integrated into the undergraduate and graduate courses of collaborating institutions on the basis of mutual recognition of credits (ECTS) . At the undergraduate level the pre-approved title – informatologist – will be retained. The semester originates from the University of Zagreb, today's four-year program in information sciences where students earn academic degrees graduated informatologist, graduated librarian, graduated museologist, and graduated archivist (without pedagogical subjects) i.e. teacher of informatology, (with pedagogical subjects), with his/her specialisation (librarian, museologist, archivist or general informatologist). Students acquiring other university degrees may enter graduate course providing they have earned 180 credits during their undergraduate course and worked in the information rich environment at least six months (libraries, archives, publishing industry etc.) Doctoral degree program (PhD) is envisioned as interdisciplinary program which will fuel collaborative research into information phenomena, behaviour of participants in information processes, organisation, preservation and use of written heritage, in particular local heritage as a part of Croatian national heritage, building of theoretical framework of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research of global information infrastructure, development of information society, digital libraries, etc. This program (PhD degree in social sciences, in the field of information sciences) shall be offered in collaboration with Faculty of Philosophy in Osijek, Rutgers University, US, and Zadar University and other foreign partners (Ljubljana University, Slovenia, Boras University, Sweden, Oxford Brookes University, UK). It is open for possible cooperation with Zagreb University, depending on development of their new programs.

2.4. Entry requirements

Undergraduate level: secondary school diploma of general orientation or secondary commercial school, and successful completion of an entrance exam. Graduate level: undergraduate degree in information sciences or other university program (minimum 180 credits) and at least six months’ working experience in a library, archive, publishing house, bookshop, and related information institutions. Postgraduate level: undergraduate degree in information sciences or other university program (minimum 300 credits) and published work on information phenomena. Students with a degree in university program other than information sciences, and interested in interdisciplinary studies on information issues, are required to take an additional exam so as to test their knowledge of socio-cultural characteristics of information society and skills necessary for work in networked environment.

2.5. Description of professional grades – undergraduate level

BSc IN INFORMATOLOGY At the undergraduate level students earn the title of BSc in Informatology – with the emphasis either on the mediation of information and service design or on production and design of information products in libraries and related information institutions/services or on production and dissemination of information in publishing and bookselling. Since the Act (Article 71) stipulates that students at undergraduate level shall prepare for further study at graduate level and are trained to perform certain professional tasks, the proposed curriculum is designed so as to enable students, who will work in information institutions such as libraries, archives and bibliographic centres, but also publishing companies, network companies etc., to carry out more complex tasks such as creation, utilisation and maintenance of material and information sources, organise, maintain and develop information tools for retrieval of the information on printed and electronic material, select and evaluate relevant information sources, communicate with users, teach/train users,

12 communicate with the public participate in planning and management of information institutions

If students start working in school or academic libraries, depending on their choice of optional modules, they will be trained to work in teams with teachers, particularly on preparation of distance learning contents, promotion of reading, application of new technology in the classroom, evaluation of information sources etc. In public libraries, e.g. in children's departments, departments for young adults, and services for user groups with special needs, students who during their study take modules in psychology and pedagogy will be trained for preparation, maintenance and development of special services for children and young adults, users with special needs (such as the blind and visually impaired, the dyslexic, etc.), and special user groups (e.g. senior citizens, ethnic minorities, etc.). Students are foremost trained for communication with users using the knowledge gained in pedagogy and psychology modules, promotion of reading and developing a habit of using the library, and generally speaking, for use and evaluation of information needed for education, pedagogical work, life-long learning etc. Students will also be trained to undertake planning, managing and marketing activities in libraries and related cultural and information institutions (e.g. publishing houses), to evaluate information resources, to communicate with the public, to translate (in combination with foreign languages), to produce indexes and abstracts, provide selective dissemination of information, creation of databases, creation and maintenance of websites, digitalisation and preservation of material and information etc. A special attention is given to the application of new technology for development, management, and maintenance of library, bibliographic and related systems. Students who choose Publishing/Bookselling course of study will be trained to undertake, independently or within larger publishing companies and bookshops, or book, periodical, database etc. distribution companies, more complex tasks such as creation, publishing and maintenance of electronic resources, and organisation, maintenance and development of information tools for information retrieval. Students will also be trained to develop publishing plans, undertake management and marketing tasks in smaller publishing houses, bookshops and similar organisations, and to use and evaluate information sources, translate (in combination with foreign languages), develop indexes, abstracts, etc. Undergraduate students (BSc) will be trained to mediate the distribution of books and nonbook material, undertake complex tasks such as design, establishment and maintenance of web sites and marketing of products and services for publishing houses, bookshops and similar institutions. All three courses are conceptualised so that interested, advanced students, acquire knowledge and skills, which will enable them to find jobs in the broad sector of information work, independently of chosen degree program.

2.6. Description of professional grades – graduate level

MSc IN INFORMATION SCIENCE Graduate level program prepares students to plan and manage information systems and networks, plan and carry out research projects and implement educational programs related to mediation and use of information in elementary and secondary schools and in higher education institutions. Students are expected to acquire knowledge necessary to recognize and single out problems facing information institutions and networks, design and implement development projects, recognize valuable research topics, master methodology of development, management and representation of research results in the field of information sciences, and finally to add to the advancement of the chosen field of study. At this level, students will study theory more intensively and independently than at the undergraduate level and will be expected to understand basic theoretical concepts in the broad field of information sciences, principles and methodology of management of

13 information and related institutions, sociological characteristics of modern information society, nature of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, development of communications paradigms and convergence of disciplines within the field of information sciences.

Programme structure, students’ obligations, and semester prerequisites are given in tables (3.3.). Course entry prerequisites are given in section 3.2. The section also contains a tentative list of elective courses (offered by the Department, Faculty, and University) that students may choose from. It is recommended that students choose elective courses in consultation with their supervisor (3.4.). Also a list of courses that can be taught in foreign languages (3.5.) and criteria and conditions of credits transfer for courses taken at other programs (3.6.) is provided. There is a list of courses offered by the Department to students of degree programs other than information sciences, at University or other partner institutions (not indicated in Introduction). A program completion is described (3.7.), and it is explained how students who have stopped studying for whatever reasn or lost their right to study, can continue studying (3.8). Transitional period is also described and explained and the possibility of continuation of graduate study for students who already graduated according to earlier programme and who wish to obtain a MA in information sciences (not indicated in Introduction) ECTS scheme: Active class participation – 1 credit Independent study and personal research (e.g. report/paper writing, database development, proposal preparation) – 2 credits Preliminary exam – 1 credit Written exam – 2 credits Oral exam - 2 credits Practical assignment – 60 hours –2 credits at first year, 3 credits at second and third year Independent project – 4 credits Bachelor thesis – 8 credits Active participation in graduate programme – 2 credits Preliminary exam in graduate programme – 2 credits Paper in graduate programme – 4 credits Oral exam in graduate programme – 4 credits Pilot project – 8 credits Master thesis – 30 credits In relation to the workload in hours/credits, the presumption was: the duration of an academic year is 44 weeks (22 in autumn and 22 in spring semester). Weekly workload for students is 40 hours (lectures, personal research, report writing, laboratory sessions, etc.). It is expected that lectures shall do not exceed 50% of student weekly workload. Exceptionally, if emphasis is on laboratory sessions a maximum of 60% is allowed. 1 credit is equivalent to ca 30 hours. Undergraduate level: It is expected that students will spend from 20 to 26 hours in class per week (including practical work) – an average of 24 hours. For the remaining time students will do personal research, laboratory work, independent research, report/paper writing, field work, etc. 24 + 16 x 22 = 880 hours per semester x 6 semester = 5.280 hours at undergraduate level Required number of ECTS is 180. Graduate level: It is expected that students will spend maximum 20 hours in lectures per week. The remaining time students will do personal research, laboratory work, independent research (in library/documentation centre/publishing house/on the web), prepare their thesis, work with tutor, etc. 20 + 20 hours x 22 = 880 hours per semester x 4 semesters = 3 520 hours Required number of ECTS is 120.
