[SigLT-L] Graduate school

[Pascal Calarco]

Hi Anna --

US News & World Report is one *subjective* ranking.  They last ranked 
Library and Information Science programs in 1999.  The rankings are here:

I think most library professionals would agree that these five programs 
are highly respected.  Depending on your son's specific interests in the 
field, however, there may be better programs out there.  A complete list 
of all of the current ALA-accredited programs in USA and Canada can be 
found at:

Best wishes!
