School of Library and Information Studies
Welcome to the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) at the University of Alberta, where a diverse and remarkable group of people study and conduct research. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our people and our programs.
We are part of the Faculty of Education, and offer the only Master of Library and Information Studies program on the Canadian prairies that is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). SLIS also offers an inter-faculty combined degree program Master of Library & Information Studies/Master of Arts in Humanities Computing, and is a home department for the Master of Arts in Humanities Computing program. We are in the process of developing a Ph.D. program, and in the meantime, in conjunction with other University of Alberta departments that house PhD programs, SLIS offers opportunities for individual interdisciplinary PhDs.
