Welcome to Kent State University's
School of Library and Information Science

Individually and collectively, Kent State University's School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) puts excellence in action every day - through first-class research, inspired teaching and meaningful outreach across Ohio and beyond.  In the process, we have put Kent State on the national map as a leader in children's librarianship,  knowledge management and information literacy.

 

SLIS at Kent State University is the only American Library Association accredited Masters in Library and Information Science (M.L.I.S.) degree program in the state of Ohio. An M.L.I.S. degree is the basic requirement for professional employment in most libraries and information centers.

 

Home to 600 graduate students, a world renowned faculty, state-of-the-art technology, and a national reputation for outstanding scholarship, SLIS at Kent State University is your key to a challenging career in the library and information science profession.
