“Friends and colleagues who are librarians and information professionals consistently recommended the program not only because of the caliber of instruction but because of the subject and topic diversity available in classes. In my professional career, I have utilized every aspect of the classes I took at GSLIS, from facilities management and designing a floor plan to the finer points of collection development.
—Kayte Korwitts (MS '09), librarian, International Academy of Design & Technology, Chicago
