The Department of Information Studies is a department of the UCL Faculty of Arts and Humanities.[1][2]
The School of Librarianship of the University of London was created in 1919 as a school of University College London.[3] The school was the first school of librarianship that was full-time.[4] The school was shut in 1939 and opened again in 1945. It later changed its name to School of Library, Archive and Information Studies[3] and then to Department of Information Studies.[5] The Department of Information Studies centenary was celebrated in the academic year 2019/2020.
The school formerly awarded a Diploma in Librarianship. From 1970 onwards, this Diploma was known as a Diploma in Library and Information Studies. From 1947, the school also awarded a Diploma in Archive Administration. From 1966, the school also awarded Master of Arts (MA, by examination), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Librarianship or Archives (the MPhil and PhD degrees are awarded for a thesis or dissertation).[6] From 1972, the school also awarded a Master of Science (MSc) degree in information studies.[3]
The Department currently offers taught postgraduate study in MA Archives and Records Management, MA/MSc Digital Humanities, MSc Information Science, MA Library and Information Studies, MA Publishing, and MRes in Information Studies.[7] The MA Library and Information Studies and the MSc Information Studies programmes are accredited by Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP),[8] and is in the candidacy stage of accreditation by the American Library Association (ALA) (Accreditation decision in June 2024).[9] Scholarships and bursaries are available such as the scholarship[10] awarded by the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers.
