Identifying and addressing skill gaps • Training gaps analysis: librarians and library technicians (2006) examined skill gaps for both Master’s of Library and Information Science (MLIS) and Library and Information Technology (LIT) graduates. • One of the most prominent skill gaps is the lack of formal training in information technology such as programming, web interface development and database construction. Addressing this key skill gap will be important for the employment prospects of graduates. • There is “some urgency to re-vision LIS education” so graduates can take advantage of growing employment opportunities in information technology many of which will be outside the Library sector (Abels, Howarth, Smith 2016, 86).
