Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It is ranked the number one library school in the country by the U.S. News and World Report, and boasts an eclectic curriculum ranging from such diverse subjects as reference librarianship to data analytics.
GSLIS was founded in 1893, and while it started out small, it has since become one of the leading schools in information studies. In addition to Masters and PhD programs, GSLIS also provides opportunities for Certificates in Advanced Study and Masters in Bioinformatics. There is also the distinction of the LEEP program, which gives off-campus students the opportunity to take their classes and interact with students and faculty online.
This exhibit presents a brief history of the program through archival photographs. It will cover the library school's humble beginnings to its present-day evolution. Enjoy!
