Bundy (2002), looking into the future
• Massification of higher education– Accelerating
pedagogic change
• Disaggregation of teaching– Shift from teaching
towards student centred learning
• Collaboration, problem solving, innovation, creativity
Bundy: Characteristics of a modern university until 2025
Higher academic staff/student ratiosLess government fundingMore focus on graduate attributes and
qualitiesMore online enrolment, delivery and
academic progressMore local, national and global
partnerships
Parallels 2002 – 2007
• Bundy (2002) characteristics of HE, now reality?
• Do these realities present opportunities, or threats?
Bundy (2002), Opportunity or threat?
• Disaggregation of teaching– Arguably, emerging teaching and learning
approaches are information literacy centric
• Not just pedagogy, economic factors– Life long learning – an economic imperative?– Producing knowledge workers for the knowledge
economy– Learning to learn in the 21st Century
• Societal factors– Closing digital divides
Bundy (2002), Opportunity or threat?
• [Information literacy] from rhetoric to substance– Issue for librarians not libraries– Library-leadership required
• Information literacy as a change agent– Opportunity to;
• Restate• Reengineer, and• Reposition librarians and libraries
Bundy (2002), From rhetoric to substance
• Advocacy– Advancing information literacy from a good
idea, towards a programme of study (preferably integrated into the curriculum)
– Developing (greater) partnership working between academics and librarians
