USF 2005-2006 Undergraduate Catalog - Page 102
The School of Library and Information Science offers undergraduate courses to meet a wide range of information literacy needs in support of the university’s academic programs. The courses provide the understanding and skills needed to access essential information resources in an increasingly information driven, technological world, whether in support of scholarship in academic disciplines or the occupational demands of society.
Students are able to take a variety of courses that will prepare them to access and evaluate these information resources. Topics taught in these courses include using the modern, electronic library and the Internet to meet academic, professional, and personal information needs, and designing websites that meet professional standards.
The School’s faculty will advise those undergraduates interested in graduate study in librarianship. The American Library Association accredits the Library and Information Science Master’s program, and graduates are prepared for professional positions in all types of libraries, media centers, and information agencies. The Library and Information Science program at the University of South Florida meets the Florida State Board of Education requirements for certification as an Educational Media Specialist (grades K 12).
