Professional Organizations
The Department of Library and Information Studies encourages students to join student organizations like LISSA and professional organizations dedicated to enhancing the library field. Numerous professional associations serve the needs of a vast spectrum of information professionals. Association conferences offer an opportunity for our students to participate in the library field and allow you to make valuable connections with other professionals. These organizations can also provide financial assistance for library education and research.
Whatever your goals and interests, you’re sure to find friends who share your passion for the field locally and globally.
