About the School of Library & Information Studies

The School of Library & Information Studies at Florida State University is one of the top ranked programs in the nation and has held such a ranking for many years. Founded in 1947, the program is old enough to have stability and tradition but young enough to be growing and vital.

The School has a dynamic faculty with extensive professional visibility. Recognition of a faculty by professional peers is one of the most significant indicators of academic quality, and Florida State ranks very high in this factor. The School's Information Use Management and Policy Institute has an outstanding national reputation for contributions to the field. Our faculty is notably visible in speaking at professional conferences, writing for scholarly publications, conducting significant theoretical and applied research, and serving in elected professional offices. These activities translate directly into a rich, intellectual environment with expanding opportunities for graduates. The School is an acknowledged leader in the field. Our vision statement says it all:

People and Information: Making Vital Connections

The School of Library & Information Studies is proud that, in its more than half-century history, it has produced many graduates who occupy positions of significant leadership and responsibility. We believe that those who are considering enrollment will not have to look far to find someone who can tell them about FSU.
