The School of Library and Information Science inspires and connects creative information professionals to support cultural institutions and knowledge-sharing practices. Since our inception over 50 years ago, SLIS has evolved into an interdisciplinary program that encourages and reinforces work across disciplines from the arts and humanities to the social sciences and beyond. Our work calls attention to the integral role that information access plays in access, opportunity, and community. Through our education, service, and scholarship, we intend to create and perpetuate the fundamentals of our democracy through access to information for all.
