Dalhousie established the School of Information Management (SIM) in 1969 and that year launched the first Master’s program in library and information studies in Atlantic Canada. Today, SIM offers the on-campus Master of Information (former Master of Library and Information Studies), the distance-delivery Master of Information Management, and the Bachelor of Management (in partnership with other Schools in the Faculty of Management).
