Description The Department of Library Science provides instruction and assistance to students and faculty members in matters relating to bibliographic research and learning through the use of libraries. The successful library user must combine the skills of a scholar and a detective in defining the problem, investigating possible sources of information, gathering "clues" or information, judging the reliability of the sources, evaluating the information itself and solving the problem. The Department of Library Science is concerned with teaching students how to learn and how to carry on independent learning projects throughout their lives. Career and Professional Opportunities Courses offered within the Department of Library Science are designed to help students in all academic and vocational pursuits to be more effective in their college studies and in life-long learning. An Instructional Media Minor is offered through the School of Education for those desiring to enter the profession of librarianship. Library Science faculty serve as instructors for the program. The courses offered are listed within the section of the catalog which deals with the School of Education. For further information contact the Library Director's Office. Library Science Courses 101.

Description The Management-Logistics curriculum provides a unique and practical approach to educating students in the rapidly growing field of logistics. The program is unique in that students may complete the general education requirements prior to, during, or after completing the courses in the logistics major. Education The major is divided into core courses, which are required by all students intending to complete a baccalaureate degree, and five specialty areas of which students may select one. These areas include: (1) Computer Information Systems, (2) Distribution Logistics, (3) Logistics Management, (4) Procurement, (5) Production Management. Employment Outlook Because this is a relatively new academic program, and the fact that the demand for logisticians is rapidly increasing, job opportunities are exceptionally good, both in private and public sectors. Related Careers Systems Management, Inventory Management, Transportation, Procurement and Production Management.
