Welcome to the Southern California Campus of San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science (SJSU-SLIS). The time spent in this program will be marked by intellectual challenges as well as academic achievements. And, as with any new endeavor, the occasional administrative confusion may be expected. Therefore, LISSTEN (Library and Information Science Students to Encourage Networking), the SLIS statewide student group, has prepared this useful Survival Handbook to assist you in negotiating the system here at SLIS-Fullerton. It, and the SLIS website, should answer many of your questions; if not, please do not hesitate to call the office at 714-278-2064 where Program Manager, and the SLIS-Fullerton office staff will be happy to help you.
