Coming to the end of 2005 Charles Sturt University (CSU) is celebrating its 30th anniversary as a lead educator for librarians across Australia and internationally. In a climate of rapidly changing technology and workplace demands, CSU and its predecessor institutions have led the way in the development and delivery of library and information management and teacher librarianship programs. Now the only courses of their kind offered by a regional Australian university, CSU’s success in this field has been attributed to teaching traditional librarianship principles in combination with contemporary information management techniques. "Our position as a leader in library and information management education is demonstrated by the fact more than 50 per cent of Australian librarians and teacher librarians who graduate from University do so from CSU," said Head of the CSU School of Information Studies Associate Professor Ken Dillon based in Wagga Wagga. "We teach students in a number of countries with formal programs in places as diverse as Mauritius and Hong Kong”.
