The American Library Association maintains a directory of information about ALA accredited library and information studies programs including addresses, phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses, contact names, degrees and certificates offered, and distance education opportunities. For up-to-date, detailed information about ALA accredited graduate programs in Library and/or Information Science as well as the current addresses for each program, use this URL: http://www.ala.org/alaorg/oa/lisdir.html.

Distance education opportunities are listed in the state or province where available, and a reference to the main description is provided. Some distance education may be through traditional extension programs with faculty on site, while others may be through interactive video or other telecommunications. Prospective students should verify with the schools the extent to which a full master's program can be acquired off site. Distance education opportunities frequently change, so prospective students may wish to inquire about other sites.

Prospective students are advised to request catalogs and applications from the schools in which they are interested.
