Bloomington

Indiana University's (IU) School of Library and Information Science 
(SLIS) at Bloomington invites applications for two positions as 
Assistant/Associate Professor. Successful candidates will hold or be

of Library Science (MLS) degree program. Able researchers with teaching 
interests in information services, digital libraries, or evaluation are

The school's developing research agenda encompasses social and 
cognitive analyses of interactions between people, organizations, 
technologies and information, particularly in relation to the 
development of digital libraries and the World Wide Web. SLIS maintains 
good working relations with colleagues in other academic units and is 
an active player in IU's Digital Library Program 
(http://www.dlib.indiana.edu). Information about SLIS's faculty, degree

SLIS has an interdisciplinary faculty whose backgrounds include 
information science, computer science, library science, linguistics, 
political science, psychology, and sociology. Its faculty was recently 
ranked first in North America for its scholarly productivity and 
impact. In addition to the Master of Library Science degree, the school 
offers the Masters of Information Science (MIS), a Ph.D. in Information 
Science, and a post-master's specialization in Library and Information 
Science.
