conceptual foundations for a wide variety of professional opportunities

contribute to the knowledge base upon which these information 
professionals can draw. LIS has a history of successful collaboration

degrees in both law and music librarianship. We are presently forging 
new interdisciplinary relationships with the other three departments in 
GSE, the School of Management, and the Center for Cognitive Science. We
