The University of Oklahoma School of Library and Information Studies 
invites applications for two tenure-track faculty positions to begin Fall 
2003 at the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or 
Professor.   Successful candidates will have primary responsibility for 
research, teaching, and service at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa.

The research and teaching goals of the School focus on applications of 
information and communications technologies, services to multicultural

interdisciplinary approaches to information problems. The OU School of

and Information Studies (MLIS) degree, a Bachelor of Arts in Information 
Studies (BAIS), and a post-master’s certificate.  Dual master’s degree 
programs are offered in conjunction with the Department of History of 
Science and the College of Education.  A Master of Science in Knowledge 
Management (MSKM) degree is in the final approval phase, with anticipated 
implementation during 2003; Tulsa-resident faculty will have primary 
responsibility for teaching in the MSKM program. Further information about 
the School, its faculty, and its programs can be found at www.ou.edu/cas/slis.
