The role of the library continues to evolve. Once a place for checking out books, libraries have transformed into multipurpose information hubs for communities and private organizations. These facilities not only provide access to books, journals, media and other collections but expand the boundaries of information and research through technology. Librarians organize, catalog, store and monitor these information channels. Many additionally direct and educate users and design programming to the needs of the surrounding community or supporting organization.
As technology transforms how we interact with libraries, professionals in the information science field require a diverse skill set. The University of Missouri (Mizzou) helps you pursue a role in or adapt to the field with a fully online master of library and information science (MLIS). Prepare to make decisions through research, develop education programs and engage users through a core emphasizing the essential principles and methods of librarianship and the information science field. Students have the option to complete this degree alone or in conjunction with a master of public affairs (MPA).
Overseeing the online master of library and information science, the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies (SISLT) is a proud member of iSchools, an international coalition of leading information schools.
