"What makes SILS special to me is that all the faculty with whom I have taken classes are caring, dedicated and innovative teachers in addition to being world-renowned scholars. They truly care about my getting the most from my education at SILS."

- Donna Nixon (Masters Candidate)

What is SILS all about? A classic education in an innovative School.

How do we ensure that our students get the quality education that they expect? How do we maintain and develop our reputation for excellence?

With the North Carolina state budget getting tighter each year, we must continue to provide the best teachers, the best equipment and the best facilities for information and library science education in the nation. We want to stay number one. And that means we need to turn to our alumni and friends for support.
