Library and Information Science Department
Information and you.
You wield it and you are governed by it. You possess it and it overwhelms you. You seek it out and it finds you wherever you are. Information and you - a powerful but complex relationship. The Department of Library and Information Science makes this relationship our focus.
You will learn to lead in information rich contexts and systems: from knowledge management to children's literature; from digital libraries to information technology and informatics; from information interfaces and economics to the design and evaluation of information, information services, and information agencies.
