Who do you want to be when you graduate?

Many schools or programs teach the basics of library science, information science or practical skills such as web design, but it's not enough to know how to build a web site or implement an information retrieval system. In addition, professionals must understand how such systems will be used in organizations--by patrons, customers, employees and other stakeholders.

The SLIS curricula expose students to social, economic, administrative, technological and legal issues that challenge today's information professional. Students learn technical skills as well as how to design information systems that are efficient, effective, and easy to use and understand. This is because we place a strong emphasis on the social and behavioral dimensions of information technology.

So, who will you become?

A person who favors the human side of technology? A person who cares? Who thinks? Who becomes a life-long learner?

One thing is certain--you will be able to create your own career choices, at SLIS.

SLIS can help you prepare for a career that appeals to your passion for working with strategic information. Wherever technology leads, you’ll be able to follow it and master its implementation.

The field of information technology offers appropriately educated information professionals and librarians a kaleidoscope of career options.

In a sense, your opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
