Research, Scholarship and Civic Engagement at Dominican
Educating Library Leaders
Whatever you call us--librarians, cybrarians, information brokers, community informatics specialists or knowledge managers--graduates of GSLIS are making an impact as library leaders.

Alumni of GSLIS work all over the world, in almost every setting imaginable, including
  • museums
  • archives
  • Public Libraries
  • Fortune 500 companies
  • schools
  • research labs
  • Native American Indian reservations
  • Hollywood
LIS professionals know that libraries change lives and information makes a difference. We make sense of the flood of data that surrounds us today--organizing, analyzing, packaging and distributing it. We assemble the information that people need to make decisions. We select and preserve the rich resources of the civilized world--rare books, digital media, numeric data and visual images--to serve society's need for informed citizens.

Here at Dominican, we have talented, enthusiastic faculty who teach and advise our students. As a GSLIS graduate student, you'll have access to a wide variety of courses, small classes (typically 15-20 students) and personal attention. You'll meet a diverse group of students who will later be your colleagues in our vast network of GSLIS alumni.

Please do contact us if you have a question or comment—we'd love to hear from you!

Children's librarian, Oak Park Public Library
The thing I enjoyed most was just the interaction, the conversations with instructors and the other students I was working with and learning from just on a daily basis. I found it very meaningful—just the real world—experiences of the instructors, of the professors.

My favorite professors at Dominican have been my favorite professors throughout my school experience period.
