SLIS NEWS: Goals for SLIS

Here are the top ten goals that I see for SLIS. Please add yours or comment on mine.

1. Continue to provide high quality programs anytime / anywhere.

2. increase our technology offerings

3. better anticipate the needs of the fields – be one step ahead

4. build a doctoral program that produces top notch scholars, leaders in every way

5. develop an undergraduate program in information science that serves as the 3rd leg of a 3 legged stool – having a full suite of degree offerings gives us a new stature and power in the academy

6. increase student support from scholarships to research assistantships – get your check books ready when you start working!

7. Lucky 7 – continue to build our literacy initiatives and show that we make a difference

8. Recruit international students

9. increase diversity and representation in everything we do

10. make sure 1 -9 happen
