School of Information and Library Science

The UNC School of Information and Library Science (SILS) is more than just a place of learning; it’s a vibrant hub of research and innovation, fostering a supportive community that many consider a lifelong home. We are passionate about understanding information in all its forms, and exploring diverse perspectives to develop theories, practices, and systems that advance prosperity, equity, and global understanding. 

Our students acquire not only the foundational principles of information creation, management, and use but also the practical skills and knowledge necessary for successful careers. They learn to develop innovative information systems and services, contributing to a better future. 

Led by world-renowned faculty with expertise spanning digital curation, health informatics, information interaction, and 21st-century librarianship, SILS is a transformative force in the field. 

Our alumni network is a testament to SILS’s impact, with graduates making a positive difference in their communities and the broader information landscape. 

The success of SILS is a testament to the strength of our community and the unwavering support of our alumni, friends, and donors. 

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Thank you for your continued support of SILS and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
