New faculty may be invited to affiliate with one of our three active LIS research centers: The Center for International Scholarship in School Libraries (CISSL), The Knowledge Institute (KI), and the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Information Privacy and Security (ISIPS) or to join other research centers within the school.

The school embraces Rutgers’ goals of diversification of its communities and programs and encourages applicants who would address these goals.
