ASSIGNMENT of ADVISORSAfter you have been accepted into the MLS, IT or Sixth Year programs, you will need to complete a Planned Program (plan the courses you will take). Students are encouraged to seek information from many sources (faculty, practitioners, employers, job ads) before finalizing the program of courses under which they will graduate. Students should seek out faculty who specialize in the type of library or area of interest in which the student wishes to specialize. This faculty member may point the student to other faculty and practitioners for additional perspectives and information. Each student is assigned a primary general advisor who will assist the student in defining area(s) of interest, focusing on a track (Academic, Public, School, Special, Information Science and Technology), and identifying faculty and practitioners with special knowledge in these areas. The general advisor will also assist the student with general information questions and with registering for courses each semester. After being notified of acceptance into a program, you should contact your primary advisor (see first name on list below). Should your primary advisor be unavailable, you should contact your secondary advisor (see second name on list below). Should both the primary and secondary advisor be unavailable, please notify the Graduate Program Coordinator or the Department Chairperson. Initial assignment of faculty advisor is made based on your last name. Each faculty member can give each student sound direction in planning a general course of study. Each faculty member has specialized areas of knowledge and students are encouraged to seek this specialized perspective in planning the course of study. Students may earn two master's degrees by electing one of the following options: library science and instructional technology, library science and history, library science and foreign languages, library science and chemistry, library science and English, instructional technology and history, or instructional technology and chemistry. A significant advantage to students is the reduction in the number of course credits required for the two degrees. The School also offers a unique opportunity for students to earn a master of library science degree and a juris doctor degree. This program is offered in cooperation with the School of Law, University of Connecticut. Students interested in a dual degree program should seek, in addition to the advisor in the Department of Library Science and Instructional Technology, an advisor in the second degree area. After the faculty advisor has signed off on the final Planned Program, the department chairperson and/or graduate program coordinator will review the program and send it to the office of the Graduate Dean. Students will be expected to follow this program. Should changes in the Planned Program become necessary, the student will need to complete additional forms with their advisor and forward the forms to the department office for action.
