Whether or not you have a library degree, you work in the profession and you know the ideas, skills, and other things that are important to you and your workplace. Share those! Your voice, and your experience, is important here!

“The Simmons College School of Library and Information Science is conducting a brief survey intended to identify core skills and knowledge areas for the MS(LIS) program.  We are interested in which skills and knowledge areas you perceive to be most needed in the field now, and in the near future.  Your responses will help as as we review and continue to revise and improve our curriculum to ensure our graduates are well prepared for the job market.

Your responses are important. The survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.  Please access the survey and respond by Monday April 17th.
