Library Information Studies enables students to become more successful by learning to recognize the extent and nature of information needed for research, then locate, evaluate, effectively use, and present information to solve problems. After completing library research classes and workshops, students will know how to make more informed decisions, adapt to new technologies, and remain independent learners for life. In a twenty-first century information economy, information literacy provides a critical set of skills often listed among the top ten job skills sought by employers.
