In collaboration with New York University (NYU), the Palmer School of Library and Information Science at LIU offers a unique 52-credit dual master's degree program that prepares subject specialist/scholar-librarians for careers in academic and research institutions or as information specialists in a specialized library or information center. The program grants an ALA-accredited Master of Science in Library and Information Science from LIU's Palmer School and a Master of Arts or Science from NYU's Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) or from three programs within NYU's Steinhardt School: Costume Studies, Food Studies or Media, Culture, and Communication.
Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the dual degree is the mentoring program which is specifically designed to train future librarians who aspire to be subject specialists in academic and cultural institutions. For students who hope to work as an archivist, an information officer in a specialized library, or as a library generalist, it might be possible to design an internship in an appropriate setting outside of Bobst. Meetings with the mentors of the program will help determine the direction your individual program will take.
The library, built in 1972,[4] is the university's largest library and one of the largest academic libraries in the U.S. Designed by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster,[4] the 12-story, 425,000 square feet (39,500 m2) structure is the flagship of an eleven-library, 5.9 million-volume system.
The library houses more than 3.3 million volumes, 20,000 journals, and over 3.5 million microforms; and provides access to thousands of electronic resources in the forms of licensed databases, e-journals, and other formats both on-site and to the university community around the world via the Internet. The library is visited by more than 6,500 users per day, and circulates almost one million books annually.
Also in 2003, the library was in the news when a homeless student took up permanent residence at the library because he could not afford student housing. This student received the nickname Bobst Boy and was profiled by the Washington Square News, the university's daily student newspaper. Reaction amongst the student body was mixed. Some students cited his case as an example of the university's inability to fully meet its students' financial need.[9][10]
Although the ISAW Library's in-house collection does not circulate outside of the building, students, scholars, and faculty members are permitted to check out materials to their workspaces. The ISAW Library utilizes a manual checkout procedure. When removing an item from the stacks, patrons are required to leave a check-out card in place of the item on the shelf. Check-out cards are located on the third floor of the library and in the reading rooms on the fourth and fifth floors. Patrons are expected to supply all requested information. If you have questions about the check-out procedure, please ask a member of the ISAW library staff for assistance.
