Faculty

GSLIS faculty are distinguished leaders who practice the professions they teach — and pride themselves on being personal mentors to their students. Our faculty includes award-winning teachers, accomplished storytellers, and international consultants whose achievements cover a wide range of areas, from school libraries to high-tech corporations in the United States, Asia, and beyond.

Dean Michèle V. Cloonan, an internationally recognized expert in the preservation of cultural heritage materials, leads the faculty. She and other GSLIS professors regularly serve as consultants for government agencies, such as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. They also serve as presidents and executive officers of leading professional organizations, including the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE), the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), specialized divisions of the American Library Association (ALA), and others.

We are proud that GSLIS faculty rank among the most published and highly quoted experts in the library and information science profession.
