Palmer School Now Offers Master's Courses at Pleasantville
in Westchester County
September 10, 1998 - This September, the Palmer School of Library and
Information Science of Long Island University began offering its master's
courses at Pace University in Pleasantville, NY. Pace's Mortola Library
is the location of the Palmer School's classes and office space.
Pace University, located in Westchester County, is an extension site
for courses in the Master of Science in Library and Information Science
offered by Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus in Brookville, NY.
This additional location for the Palmer School's master's program will
result in improvements in the educational experience of both faculty and
students in Westchester County, said Anne Woodsworth, dean of the Palmer
School at Long Island University.
"This new partnership will ensure that the Palmer School's students
and faculty have access to the best possible resources and facilities,
such as Pace's electronic classrooms and its rapidly growing electronic
library," said Dr. Woodsworth. "We truly appreciate the interest
and commitment that William J. Murdock, the Pace University Librarian,
and his administrators have in building this strategic alliance."
Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus previously offered courses
in Library and Information Science at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, Westchester
County, NY. Students who choose to take most of their courses at Pace University
in Pleasantville must fulfill a six-credit residency requirement at either
the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville, Long Island, or at New York University's
Bobst Library in Manhattan. The full Master of Science in Library and Information
Science is offered at both of these locations.
In addition to the 36-credit M.S. program that integrates information
and library science, the School offers a B.S. in Information Transfer,
a Ph.D. in Information Studies, and certificate programs in Archives and
Records Management. All programs are accredited by the American Library
Association and registered with the New York State Education Department.
