[Asis-l] Palmer School of Library and Information Science @ Long Island University Receives Continued ALA Accreditation Through 2022

[Heather Ranieri]

The Palmer School of Library and Information Science at Long Island University is delighted to announce that American Library Association (ALA)  and the Committee on Accreditation (COA) has conferred continued accreditation for the Masters Degree of Library and Information Science (MSLIS). The next comprehensive review is scheduled for Fall 2022. We would like to thank all those who helped in the efforts to achieve this status; our students, alumni, community constituents, faculty, professional staff and administration of LIU.

The Palmer School is currently revitalizing its academic content to include new offerings in data science. These efforts include the appointment of Dr. Wei Xiong, whose teaching interests include data mining (big data and its applications), information representation and retrieval, and digital libraries. His research involves a wide range of data mining applications in different domains, including behavioral-targeted advertising in business, automatic document classification in digital libraries, and early alert system for online course instructors in academia. Dr. Xiong has worked as a data scientist in industry and has a funded grant proposal on data mining research. The Palmer School invites students interested in learning more to visit www.liu.edu/palmer<http://www.liu.edu/palmer> or the Palmer Blog www.liu.edu/palmerblog<http://www.liu.edu/palmerblog>.
