The GSLIS serves the general public, students, employers, the university, and other stakeholders through its various programs in library and information studies. We prepare and educate students to be creative, reflective and adaptable service-oriented professionals who will contribute to and improve the information-intensive environments of diverse communities while retaining the core values and ethics of librarianship. The GSLIS prepares graduates for employment and service in a diverse, global and rapidly changing information society now and the future. Graduates of the GSLIS are able to demonstrate appropriate competencies and to articulate ethical values as defined by LIS professional organizations, and other stakeholder communities. GSLIS maintains a rigorous yet flexible curriculum that reflects the changing needs of its constituency, through ongoing assessment and revision.
