Since blended librarianship is still a new concept, Corrall (2010) made an investigation at the Sheffield iSchool to find out whether the courses offered in the curricula prepared students for blended roles. Corrall (2010) found that the curricula did not mirror the requirements of blended librarianship and then concluded that librarianship education needed change in the curricula in order to maintain a strong professional focus, informed by best practice in the field, while also attaining high academic standards, inspired by leading-edge research.
