An ALA accredited library school that speaks Spanish
March 26, 2008
It is located in Puerto Rico. ¡Sí!
Imagine to study in a tropical island enjoying warm and sunny weather year-round. Introducing the University of Puerto Rico’s Graduate School of Information Sciences and Technologies (GSIST).My School.
Located on the third floor of the Biblioteca José M. Lázaro, the general library of the University of Puerto Rico, the school offers a Master in Library Science, post graduate and post BA certificates. Also, since the summer of 2007, students are able to enroll on a distance learning program hosted in partnership with the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and its School of Information Sciences.
The professors are very active. They encourage participation in library associations such as IFLA, ALA, REFORMA and ACURIL. Last year, the school sent five students to present programs at ALA Annual Conference in Washington D.C.
I am visiting Puerto Rico in a few months and intend to stop by the school. It has been a long time since I last saw the professors, but I’ve always kept in touch with some of them. I wonder how much things have changed.
I intend to interview a few of the professors and students to post an entry about them.
Until then, consider studying at a wonderful ALA accredited library school that speaks Spanish.
