Welcome to SLIS

We live in an age defined by the intersection of information, technology and human creativity, an intersection which offers a rich and vibrant milieu of opportunities. Set in this context, library and information science is dedicated to understanding the nature of information, the interaction between information and communication technologies, the relationship between information and knowledge, and the interface between people and information. It is a fundamental and academic discipline and an invaluable source of new knowledge, technological benefits, and professional expertise, affecting essentially every dimension of human affairs: education, science, health, agriculture, global ecosystems, industry, and socio-political activities.

The School of Library and Information Science prepares individuals to meet these diverse challenges and opportunities. We welcome you to our Web site. If you are interested in further information, please contact us.
