journalism, and health campaigns are areas of interest.

The Department of Library and Information Science (LIS) in particular 
seeks faculty candidates who wish to take the future of information and 
information applications in their hands. Our department's mission is to 
connect people with information and to transform their lives by 
transforming information technologies and facilitating the evolution
of the socio-cultural systems they support. New faculty members can have 
a real impact on an evolving area in a strong interdisciplinary academic

their Ph.D. by Fall 2009, and will present a program of research and 
record of teaching that:
