Texas School Offers Librarianship Masters

The University of Texas at Austin School of Information will provide six Native American students an opportunity to pursue master's degrees in librarianship in their residence program.

Partnering with the American Indian Library Association in an effort to bring new
master degreed librarians back to tribal communities, the school will provide financial support as well as opportunities for community based experiences, advising from an on-site Native American professor, and professional development through networking.
