MESSAGE FROM SLIS DIRECTOR In 2021, SLIS students and faculty rose to many challenges while learning and teaching under the conditions of COVID-19. We also joyfully celebrated important successes and recognitions. In Spring 2021, the SLIS Archives Management concentration was ranked number one in the nation by the U.S. News & World Report, while our MS Library and Information Science Program was eleventh, putting us among the top LIS programs in the country. Three SLIS faculty members were elected to lead prominent LIS organizations: Naresh Agarwal, Associate Professor and Director of the Information Science & Technology Concentration, is the President of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T);
