>do we really need a separate RM graduate program? (heretic!) or do we need
to promote the teaching of the concepts in a variety of programs (see
comment above). I would like to see some sort of interdisciplinary program
developed that provides the student of RM with knowledge from the business
admin, library science and IT worlds.<
I agree, we do not need a separate program. I am currently in a Masters
Program that has Bus, IT, Communications, and LIS.

We need more programs like this and more with RM input.

I agree, but more particularly where should RM be taught? In the Library
Science program, what about IT programs or better yet MBA programs.

The vast material tested in the CRM process supports your belief. there is
no way that all of RM can be taught in one semester.

I think the research opps are definitely being handled well by the
Educational Foundation. What needs to be done is for us to grow the
Educational foundation's financial support. once that has been stabilized
and enlarged, they can then approach MBA programs to initiate RM studies or
research programs.
lots of opportunities.
