Students at the San Jose State University's School of Library and Information Science program (SJSU SLIS) typically learn online. Infrequent face-to-face meetings can result in a loss of soft information. Soft information often builds from casual conversations in the hallway or over lunch. Topics include

• which professors to take
• recommended courses
• study strategies
• career information
• relocating tips
• internships
• salaries
• career and learning opportunities
• issues in the field, etc.

This wiki is designed to help alleviate that loss by encouraging everyone in the program, and those who have since left (SLISsers) to share what they've learned about

• workplace culture and politics
• web 2.0
• networking
• conferences
• publishing
• getting a doctorate
• residency opportunities
• work and life challenges for a couples in academia
• international opportunities, etc.

So read, learn, and don't forget to add your own thoughts and suggestions!
