Message from the Director SLIS focuses on training Iowa librarians

s we enter a new school year, I write to keep you informed about Arecent events at the School of Library and Information Science. A number of interesting and exciting things have been happening around our school. In fact, every day at SLIS is interesting and exciting. This fall we have 113 students enrolled in 20 classes. These numbers include thirty-nine students who are licensed Iowa teachers studying to become Teacher Librarians. These teachers come from all parts of Iowa, and their education is funded by an Institute for Museum and Library Services grant. Upon graduation, they will take jobs in school libraries around Iowa. Nine more of our students are supported by IMLS to study Digital Librarianship. They receive fellowships to rotate through a series of digital projects around campus to gain a well-rounded education in the evolving role of technology in library work. We also have eight students enrolled in our joint program with the University of Iowa Center for the Book. This joint program continues to draw top students from around the country. The diversity of interest and experience represented in our students and our curriculum makes it a pleasure to come to work each day.

This past year, we underwent accreditation by the American Library Jim Elmborg, director of SLIS Association. Once again, we were accredited for seven years, the most allowed by ALA. The process of accreditation, while not exactly “enjoyable,” is valuable nonetheless. It allows us to explore our strengths Inside this issue and weaknesses and to work with a group of experts to assess what we t LISSO project on social do.
