Chemical Information Specialization and Master of Information Science

Candidates in this joint program receive the MIS degree and the Specialization. The Specialization will be noted on the transcript [effective for May 2009 graduates]. They must meet MIS Foundation course requirements (21 hours) and include in their elective courses S533 - Online Searching, S523 - Science and Technology Information, and Informatics I571 (Chemical Information Technology) or another course on chemical information chosen with the specialization advisor. Additional courses, chosen in consultation with advisors in SLIS and Chemical Informatics, will bring the total graduate credit hours to 42 for the MIS. Candidates for this specialization must have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in chemistry. The MIS curriculum changed in the fall of 2007.)

Roger Beckman, Director of the IU Life Sciences and IU Chemistry Libraries, is the specialization advisor (beckmanr@indiana.edu).
