Development

OpportunitiesStudents in the UK School of Library &

Information Science have excellent

development opportunities - two of which

include alternative spring break programs

in conjunction with the Library of

Congress and the National Library of

Medicine. Our Schools Lunch & Learnseries regularly bring various

professionals from a wide variety of

library and information agencies to

campus to talk to students. Our course,

LIS 675 Professional Field Experience, allows students the

opportunity to gain real world experience while also earning course

credit.

Alumni

There are over 4000 graduates of the School, many of whom hold

major positions in libraries and other information agencies

throughout the United States. The School publishes an electronic

Newsletter semiannually for alumni and other interested parties for

the purpose of maintaining communication between the School and

its graduates. We also stay in touch with our graduates through a

School listserv, Twitter and Facebook. The Alumni Association

supports the School in a number of ways and annually presents the

Outstanding Alumna/us Award.

School administrative and faculty offices, three 'smart' classrooms

and The McConnell Center for the Study of Youth Literature are

located on the third floor of Lucille Little Fine Arts Library (LCLI).

The McConnell Center for the Study of

Childrens Literature is a joint project of

the School and the Kentucky Department

for Libraries and Archives. It provides an

examination and research collection of

recent childrens and young adult

literature, reference materials, criticism

and reviews; and it serves as a resource inbook selection for university students,

authors and others in developing an

appreciation and understanding of the

creation, use, teaching, and criticism of

childrens literature.

The University library system, whose

flagship is the William T. Young mainlibrary, constitutes a major laboratory for School students. University

libraries are supplemented by other libraries in the area, including

Transylvania University Library, Lexington Public Library, Lexington

Theological Seminary Library, the Veterans Administration Medical

Center Library, the State Department for Libraries and Archives in

Frankfort, along with academic and public libraries in nearby

communities. They provide opportunities for professional field

experience placements and for part-time employment.

eligible to sit for a final exam or to graduate.

I (Incomplete) Grades

For graduate students, any I (incomplete) grade must be replaced by

a regular final letter grade within 12 months of the end of the

semester or term in which the I grade was assigned, or prior to the

students graduation, whichever occurs first. If at that time the I

grade has not been changed to some other regular final letter grade,

it will be changed to a grade of E.
