American
Library Association Student Chapter
The American Library Association Student Chapter was established in 1992 and formally recognized by the Student Senate in 1993. It provides both undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities for professional education and service beyond those provided by coursework. Chapter activities include round table discussions, field trips, participation in community projects, and sponsorship of colloquium speakers.
Lambda Sigma is an organization dedicated to furthering camaraderie between students and faculty of the Library Science program, and to helping with various projects in the community related to the library profession.
Special Libraries Association Student Chapter
The Special Libraries Association Student Chapter was established in 1996
and officially recognized by the association in the same year. Special
libraries and information centers are found in businesses, government agencies,
museums, hospitals, and professional associations. The student chapter
offers students opportunities to learn more about special librarianship
by visiting special libraries, by sponsoring speakers, and by participating
in service projects in local libraries.
Students are encouraged to participate in developing and evaluating department policies and procedures through membership on department and university committees.
