The Information News from the intersection where information, people & technology meet
iSchoolers in the News
We profiled Rivkah Sass, our 2018 iSchool Distinguished Alumna. Sass, who earned her Master of Librarianship in 1978, is the Sacramento library director and wins raves for her ability to evolve as her community’s needs change.
iSchool Assistant Professor Miranda Belarde-Lewis curated an exhibit that recently began a year-long stay at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. Belarde-Lewis called it a “petrifying honor” to curate the installation of Preston Singletary’s work, which tells an ancient Native American story.
Recent MLIS alumna Nicky Andrews is part of this year’s class of American Library Association Emerging Leaders. The program develops leaders through training and networking.
