University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee
SLIS Changes Name

The School of Library and Information Science at the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee announced November 20 that it has changed its name to the School of Information Studies (SOIS).

Dean Mohammed M. Aman said the new name better reflects the philosophy and diverse programs of the school. “Our field is constantly evolving and we no longer prepare individuals to work only in library settings. Our graduates are information professionals and we are continually updating our curriculum to prepare students for successful careers in the information businesses and industries.”

The name change is the result of the many diverse directions being undertaken at the school, including adding a Ph.D. program in information and library science.
