Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, has announced that the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science ( SLIS ) has received $881,692 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to recruit and educate librarians.
The SLIS will use these funds to recruit two groups of 20 students who already have teaching certificates for its masters degree program in library and information science. They will receive fellowships to fund their masters degrees. Iowa Area Education Agencies, the State Library of Iowa and the Iowa Association of School Librarians will assist in the recruitment process. These funds will also help SLIS revise and refine its curriculum and delivery systems.
I hope that with these funds, the University of Iowa will be able to make its excellent School of Library and Information Science even stronger, Harkin said. Libraries play a crucial role in both preserving past discoveries and facilitating future scholarship. With decreasing numbers of librarians across the country, it is important to draw new professionals to this field and give them opportunities to excel.
