Editor's Notes
- CI—is located in Tallahassee, Florida in the Louis Shores Building. We welcome our visitors from around the state and other regions. Let me introduce you to CI through our history—and our academic programs.
- Academic ratings were based on student responses to questions about class sizes, the accessibility of professors and other educational matters. Other factors considered were student-faculty ratios and percent of classes taught by teaching assistants.
- SLIS is headed past its 60th year—although our roots go back to 1926 when the first library science course was offered. It would be twenty years later when FSCW President Doak S. Campbell ‘realized his women’s institution of 3000 students would have to aid the overwhelming influx of returning GI’s.’ FSCW became co-ed FSU in 1946. To meet the burgeoning demands for librarians in Florida after WWII--and the Library Science undergraduate program expanded to a new graduate program. The new dean was Louis Shores—librarian, professor and educator modeled it from his experiences at Peabody College. Dr. Shores was dean till 1967—the College has only had five deans: Shores, Harold Goldstein, Bill Summers, Jane Robbins and Larry Dennis. But the College has had six names. The School of Library and Training Service (SOLTAS) (1947); The Library School (1953-- and by the way the school had 53 master’s students then—over 40 years later we have 700 plus); The School of Library Science (1968); School of Library and Information Studies (1981); School of Information Studies (after 1996); College of Information (2005). And now College of Communication & Information (2009.) So all in all you can say we change names more than deans! We keep deans a long time because they are ‘good…’ And we change our name more often-- to reflect the dynamism of our curriculum and faculty research, which mirrors the information skills and needs of those we educate and serve.
- We don’t admit you to our online program or our on-campus program. We admit you to our graduate program – whether you take the courses online or on-campus is up to you. The biggest factors in student learning outside of the effort the student puts into the course which if paramount - are the quality and attitude of the instructors. At Florida State we recruit nationwide and because of our reputation for excellence we are able to hire some of the best faculty in the country. Those are the faculty who teach our courses, both online and on-campus.

Part of the College’s research is focused on creating the Next Generation Library and preparing the Next Generation Librarian… We are working with

- Dr. Lisa Tripp Texting, blogs, Facebook , gaming and instant messages might seem, to some, to be just more reasons to stare at a computer screen. Thinking like that is so 2008, any middle schooler will tell you. Now a study that looked at the online habits of 800 teenagers backs them up. Researchers in the study, titled the Digital Youth Project and conducted primarily at the University of Southern California and the University of California at Berkeley, found that in our increasingly technological world, the constant communication that social networking provides is encouraging useful skills. The study looked at more than 5,000 hours of online observation and found that the digital world is creating new opportunities for young people to grapple with social norms, explore interests, develop technical skills and work on new forms of self-expression.
