Purpose. This study reviews the literature to investigate and document the key elements of supervision of practicum programmes in the field of library and information science. The objective is to establish the extent to which the existing literature has researched and documented the process of practicum supervision in this field.
Method. A systematic literature review used qualitative content analysis technique to analyse the existing literature. EndNote X6 and Microsoft Excel 2014 were used to collect and sort data, while NVivo v. 11 and VOSviewer were used to analyse the contents of 479 research studies on library and information science practicums.
Findings. Findings reveal that since the 1990s, only ten of 479 research articles discussed practicum supervision in this field. The dearth of research results in a lack of theoretical knowledge about key elements (role of supervisor, supervision styles & supervision competency).
Practical implications.. This study aims to provide theoretical knowledge for practicum supervisors to guide their roles, styles & competencies. Library associations will benefit when designing capacity building programmes specifically for practicum supervisors. The results are expected to foster industry-academia relationships through bridging the gap in ongoing discussions between the library and information science schools and practitioners.
