Wise Words from Dr. Marty

We had guest speakers in class today. I appreciated the words from Dr. Marty about how an LIS program was a perfect fit for him. I feel the same way about LIS and me.

"The key thing for me was that I was always an interdisciplinary kind of guy - degrees in wide ranging fields interests all over the place - and I had a hard time finding an academic home that fit my varied interests. As soon as I started the LIS program at Illinois, I knew I had found a way to combine my interests. The nice thing about this field is that it successfully connects people with diverse backgrounds and shows how we can all contribute to the advancement of human knowledge in such varied ways."
