One of our students has already accepted a job as law librarian at a major law school. Other students worked last summer in jobs involving library automation and at the UC Berkeley Graduate Library.

Several of the students currently have offers in hand.
Every organization has to manage information.
Some of this information is generated externally, some of it is generated internally. All of it has to be stored, organized, retrieved, manipulated, displayed, searched, and archived. More and more of this information is becoming available in digital form, and we believe that there will be lots of good jobs for people who know how to managed digital information effectively. See the Masters Program FAQ on Career Planning for more information about job titles, and see the SIMS Web page for curriculum description. The School of Information Management and Systems is educating people to manage information.
