I was in the office and found a suggested reading list for the MLIS program. I had no idea that this existed before I applied, but it might be helpful for someone.

Below are some titles collected from faculty and students in the past. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and none of these readings are required as a pre-requisite to starting the program; however, they may be helpful in preparing for your studies.
