In the information age, people increasingly need new ways to gather, organize, and access information. The Internet alone has created a library without walls that is growing exponentially.

U.S. News & World Report ranks UNC's School of Information and Library Science best in the nation for educating future leaders in this growing field. Through the use of technology, these leaders connect local communities with global information and knowledge, bringing people and information closer together.

Librarians, archivists, records managers, and information systems professionals find ongoing challenges through efficiently using the Internet and dealing with information in multiple formats. The school's high-quality educational opportunities, in an interdisciplinary learning environment, help graduates meet these challenges.

Research opportunities in this new environment allow faculty, master's and Ph.D. students to explore the frontiers of knowledge. Successful undergraduate minor and certificate programs provide opportunities at other levels.
