The library and information science faculty urges all students who have not had significant experience in library or information service to apply for 3 credits of supervised professional field experience (17:610:592). Students are placed in a wide variety of public, academic, and special library and information service agencies. Students must have completed at least 15 credits in the master of library and information science (M.L.I.S.) program before they are eligible for field experience. Consultation with the field experience coordinator is necessary well in advance, early in the semester prior to the intended coursework, in order to make necessary arrangements.
