Executive MLIS Degree Program Focuses on Business and Management Skills
A unique learning cohort is now available for information professionals who want to earn a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) with a focus on business skills and executive-level training. This cohort is the result of a partnership between SLA and San Jose State University (SJSU) School of Library and Information Science. SJSU’s Executive MLIS program is designed for library or information science professionals with at least three years of experience who do not already hold an MLIS. The SLA cohort is scheduled to start in June 2009.
The SLA members-only cohort will study broad-based library as well business and management skills in a team-based and project-focused program. The SJSU Executive MLIS is especially appropriate for SLA members--special librarians and information professionals--who require unique skills to thrive in a government, corporate, legal or other specialized information management setting.
As the SLA member cohort works toward the MLIS degree, the group will explore leadership topics such as program evaluation, human resources management, marketing and financial management-- all areas that are not typically included in MLS/MLIS programs.
Applications for the SJSU Executive MLIS program are now being accepted. The deadline to apply for the 2009 Executive MLIS program is March 30, 2009, but earlier application is strongly encouraged. To learn more about the program, visit SJSU site here.
