The focus of the Department of Library and Information Science is on how people and organizations find and use information. Our research interests range from knowledge management to children's literature, including specialties such as digital libraries, the organizational impact of new technology, interfaces and economics of information, and the design and evaluation of information services. 

Our master's program ranks sixth in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report, drawing students to both its New Jersey-based and online options. Our undergraduates and Ph.D. students win awards from student and scholarly associations. The graduates from all of our programs find employment as scholars, in traditional professional roles in libraries and information agencies, and in many high-tech industries and organizations.
