ILSSA is the Information and Library Science Student Association of the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The officers of ILSSA are the liaisons between SILS students and faculty, SILS students and SILS alumni, and SILS students and the GPSF.

We strive to provide feedback to SILS faculty and staff that accurately reflects the sentiments of the student body. In addition, we organize activities to bring students and/or faculty and students together. ILSSA also arranges for new students to have a mentor student within SILS to ease the transition into the program.

Membership in ILSSA is open to all graduate and continuing studies students enrolled at the School of Information and Library Science.



Big News: Spring Cleaning!

Has your lounge been cleaner, lately? Yes, it has! The ILSSA officer team scrubbed and mopped the SILS masters students lounge on Friday, February 25. Please keep things tidy and wipe up your spills and everything.

The two big outcomes from this cleanup effort are:

1: We got creative and rearranged the tables. What do you think of that?

2: Did you know there is a TELEPHONE in the SILS masters lounge? It is a landline, and it works (we tried it). The phone number is 919-962-7120. This your number. Use it wisely. But, someone, please use it.
