On behalf of my staff and faculty colleagues, I would like to welcome incoming and returning students in the MLIS and MIM programs to the 2013/2014 academic year. We at SIM take pride in our mission:
The School of Information Management, in the Faculty of Management, develops and nurtures dynamic, innovative and practical information professionals who are skilled in the management of information and technology, and who provide leadership and vision in a knowledge-based society.
In collaboration with clients and stakeholders, graduates will promote and advocate the values-based concepts of sustainability and social responsibility in the management of knowledge and information. The school advances the discipline of Information Management by pursuing creative multidisciplinary research.
We look forward to working with all of you over the next few months, and to help ensure that your time with us will provide you with a rewarding learning experience. We encourage you to take full advantage of the interdisciplinary environment of our intellectual and administrative home, the Faculty of Management, and to interact with your colleagues in the four schools. Please stay tuned for the various events that will occur during the academic year; we will place postings on our web site, as well as our media outlets.
Best wishes,
Louise Spiteri
