مستخلص: Library science is getting harder to teach. The variety in libraries of all types is increasing as more and more mold themselves to their communities rather than field-wide norms. How can library science education change to meet the new variety, and the variety in a post-neutrality world? The author proposes new metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of LIS programs: (1) Agility--What ongoing methods are in place to identify, evaluate, and prepare students for developments in a rapidly changing profession? (2) Connectedness--Who are the partners networked with the program and its faculty to ensure direct connection of the classroom to the field? (3) Embeddedness--What is the program's ability to deliver authentic field experiences to students that allow them to contextualize theory and research methods? and (4) Resilience--How prepared are librarians to face, understand (i.e., analyze), and solve the problems in a community in line with the professional mission and values of librarianship?
