[OPLINLIST] Kent State SLIS advances in US News & World Report rankings; children's services now in top 10

[Cunningham, Flo]

The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) at Kent State University has moved up in the rankings of the nation's top schools of library and information studies, according to the latest edition (2014) of U.S. News and World Report's "Best Graduate Schools."

Kent State SLIS is now ranked overall at #18 (up from #20). The school's Services for Children and Youth program now ranks in the top 10 (at #10, up from #13).

U.S. News ranked 51 master's degree programs in library and information studies in the United States that are accredited by the American Library Association. The rankings are based solely on the results of a fall 2012 survey sent to the dean of each program, the program director, and a senior faculty member in each program, asking them to choose top programs noted for excellence in each specialty area. The rankings will be featured in the "Best Graduate Schools 2014" edition, available on April 9.

Kent State SLIS has Ohio's only accredited Master of Library and Information Science degree program, offering courses in Kent, Columbus (State Library of Ohio) and through a fully online option. The school also offers a Master of Science in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management and participates in an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in the College of Communication and Information.

All the best,
