| Popis | Information professionals are specialists who collect, record, organise, store, preserve, retrieve, and disseminate printed or digital information. They are involved in all phases of providing information services to clients. Therefore, knowledge of service design and design thinking is also central to their role (Bell, 2018). Clarke (2019) even argues that the feld of LIS is built on a design epistemology and asks provocative questions about whether we should still talk about library and information science or rather library and information design. In the Department of Information Studies and Library Science, we have focused on bridging service design and information science for over 10 years, and in 2022 we developed and received accreditation for a new professional degree program in Information Services Design. In this paper we want to present the background of this new study program, where the intersections between LIS and service design are, and how the design of the new curriculum has been infuenced by contemporary design approaches such as transition design (Irwin, 2018). |
