Library and Information Science
A knowledge-organization path toward libraries, archives, knowledge management, and research support roles.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
LIS is invisible until institutions hire — then they want cataloguing care and user service. Library assistant roles, archives, and KM/documentation paths reward metadata discipline. Show a catalogue sample or knowledge-base cleanup. Loving books is insufficient; show systems thinking. Campus and early-career screens still reward ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — clip, draft, research note, lesson plan, or campaign log — you can defend in depth.
