The School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS or SLAIS, The iSchool at UBC) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver is a graduate school offering a Master of Archival Studies (MAS), a Master of Arts in Children's Literature (MACL), a Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) and a Doctor of Philosophy in Library, Archival and Information Studies (Ph.D.). Founded in 1961 as the School of Librarianship, SLAIS is currently located in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. ==Academic Programs== SLAIS offers three master's degrees, a dual MAS/MLIS, a doctoral degree and a certificate of advanced study. A concentration in First Nations and a sub-specialization in Human-Computer Interaction are also available. The Master of Archival Studies and Master of Library and Information Studies degrees are 48-credit programs, consisting primarily of coursework, with an optional 12-credit thesis option. The Master of Archival Studies degree program follows the guidelines for archival education published by the Association of Canadian Archivists and the Society of American Archivists. The degree program began in 1981 and was the first stand-alone degree program in archival science in Canada or the United States.〔Eastwood, Terry. "Archival Research: the University of British Columbia Experience." ''The American Archivist'' 63 (Fall/Winter 2006): 243-257.〕 The Master of Library and Information Studies degree is accredited by the American Library Association. The degree was first offered in 1995 and superseded the Master of Library Studies, which had been offered since 1971. Prior to that, the school offered a one-year Bachelor of Library Science.〔SLAIS. ("History of SLAIS." ) Accessed January 28, 2012.〕 The Dual Master of Archival Studies/Master of Library and Information Studies Program enables students to earn both the MAS and MLIS degrees within three to five years, following the completion of 81 credits. The Master of Arts in Children's Literature is a 30-credit interdisciplinary program, composed of courses from the departments of English, French, Language and Literacy Education, Theatre and SLAIS. The Doctor of Philosophy in Library, Archival and Information Studies program was introduced in 2003, with Archival Studies and Library and Information Studies streams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UBC School of Library, Archival and Information Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
