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. Although students must have completed at least 15 credits in the M.L.I.S. program before they are eligible, they should consult with the director of field experience well in advance in order to make necessary arrangements.
