Library and Information Studies

Up one level Undergraduate Programs of Study(Majors, Minors & Requirements)

The Library provides an extensive program of information literacy instruction that helps prepare students to be effective life-long learners in a rapidly changing technological environment. The abilities to find, obtain, utilize and evaluate information both ethically and effectively are essential components of Information Literacy. Manhattanville College students develop into critical consumers of information in all its forms through Information Literacy instruction.

The librarians who teach LIS classes work directly with students to solve practical research problems. Students learn about the full spectrum of information resources and which to use for specific applications. Critical evaluation of information is among the most important skills that students gain. Information technology tools are integrated into each course. All Manhattanville students receive Information Literacy instruction.
