Rutgers University Master's Degree in Library and Information Science

610:501 Introduction to Library and Information Professions

WELCOME!

We're very glad to see you at this orientation site. Included herein are all the materials that used to be available in a printed orientation packet--and a pricey one at that--along with many extra goodies (largely in the form of offsite links).

Each page contains links to the previous page and next page, which you may use to read through the site from "front" to "back" very much as you would a paper packet. You may also simply choose your own way through the materials from the Table of Contents or by browsing the side bar. Note that there is a section on "what's new" that you will want to check from time to time.

A note about offsite hyperlinks: Clicking on these links usually will open the page in a different browser window (if it is not a new window, use your back button to return to 501). As you click on other offsite links, they should continue to open within that one new browser window. This orientation site will remain open in your original window.

You can use the URLs in the Checklist under "First Things" to bookmark critical pages.

Begin with Professor Varlejs' Preface, then proceed page by page or go to the Table of Contents.
