Dear Colleague:

Over the past two years there have been many changes at the San José School of Library and Information Science; indeed, the American Library Association (ALA) Committee on Accreditation’s External Review Panel referred this year to our “transformation”. As there is no venue at which we might present these developments to you, we are distributing this report covering 2005 through June 2007 to you as an alumna, employer or friend. Do feel free to share it with your colleagues. Perhaps you already knew that San José is:

■ One of the largest graduate programs in any discipline in California; ■ The world’s largest accredited LIS program, with more than 2,000 graduate students; ■ Nationally ranked for quality and named the #1 e-learning service provider by US News and Nationally World Report; ranked for quality and ■ Recipient of the Public Relations Excellence Award by the California Library Association; named the ■ Visited each day on-line by an average of 30,000 hits (doubled in two years). #1 e-learning ■ Our standards for admission have been raised to the same level as the UC system and our service exit requirements include an electronic portfolio demonstrating competence in fourteen provider by core areas. More than 20% of our student body represent visible minorities and more of our US News and World Report. students have been named ALA Spectrum Scholars (to support minority students) than any other School on the continent. ■ We have also almost doubled our full-time faculty and staff to 37, reaching 63 FTE with part-time included. ■ We have also attracted our first four endowments.

Much more information is available in this report and on our newly-designed and content- rich Web site, http://slisweb.sjsu.edu. Please take the time to review these highlights. Examine the executive summary of the report of the Committee on Accreditation’s External Review Panel (available on our Web site at http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/coa2007/external_coa_report.pdf) and consider requesting our brochures and bookmarks for your staff and clients. We are committed with you to quality education and the advancement of our discipline and profession. Ken Haycock Professor and Director direct: 408.924.2491 [email protected]

New Facilities Development

The School of Library and Information Science moved to new physical facilities in 2006, with state of the art labs. As a result of this move, students can now:

■ Learn and collaborate in virtual classrooms, with high impact software for social networking along with synchronous audio advising and collaboration. ■ Access high quality library and database resources. ■ Explore our Second Life campus (16-acre island) which opened in 2007. Visit us! ■ Look forward to the introduction of our advanced social networking environment in 2007.

New SLIS Endowments

We are honored and proud to announce the first ever SLIS endowments to support student learning and achievement.

The Terence Crowley Endowment Began as an annual scholarship awarded by the SLIS Alumni Association. Through a creative partnership of the Alumnae Association and the School, supported by a generous gift from Fred Gertler (MLS, 1977), the Crowley scholarship will exist in perpetuity to recognize excellence in reference and information services.

The Kaiser Permanente Medical Librarianship Endowment Supports a student declaring an interest in medical librarianship and health informatics. Through the good offices of Peter Meyer, regional library director, Kaiser Permanente has ensured support for medical librarians.

The Ken Haycock Endowment Initiated by the director to begin the practice of recognizing graduating students, in this case for leadership potential.

The H.W. Wilson Endowment Created through a partnership of the School and the H.W. Wilson Foundation in New York. This new endowment ensures a scholarship for entering students.
