SLIS Student News

"Students at SLIS not only get excellent education by highly professional, widely published, and well-networked faculty, they also distinguish themselves by publishing in refereed and professional journals and applying for and winning major student awards both internal and external. Publishing and winning awards are among many other activities that SLIS students accomplish or get involved with in order to enhance their professional knowledge and skills and attract employers." [Lokman Meho]

SLIS MLS Program Director, Lokman Meho, has been working to compile a list of student publications. Many of the list below began as SLIS class projects. SLIS Student News has additional stories about awards and other student activities, including the projects of the six student chapters of professional associations.
