%Description The School offers an interdisciplinary graduate
program in information and library science.  Its traditional
strength in library science provides students with a strong
background in information organization/retrieval and service to
client groups.  The newer information science program has
diversified the course offerings, including an emphasis in
systems analysis and design.
%Facilities Students have access to a state-of-the-art
microcomputer lab, including CASE tools and basic prototyping
tools.  Access to UNIX workstations is also available.
