 The
faculty of the Library and Information Science Program
educates men and women at the master’s, certificate,
and doctoral levels to become leaders in libraries, archives,
and information centers; conducts research to advance the
information sciences; and performs public service to support
the information professions and the public good. The faculty,
staff, and students of the Program constitute a community
of learners in support of this mission.
The Program offers two degree programs--the Master
of Library and Information Science, accredited by the
American Library Association, and the Doctor of Philosophy
in Library and Information Science, which educates its
graduates for careers in research, teaching, and administration--and
a Certificate of Advanced Study, for professionals who
desire to further their careers. The MLIS degree program,
offered both on campus and through the Web-based FastTrack
MLIS, provides graduates with a foundation of professional
knowledge and skills as well as opportunities for specialized
study in Medical Librarianship and Informatics, Archives
and Records Management, Preservation Management, Digital
Libraries, Services to Children and Youth, and School
Library Certification.
