The LIS Access Midwest Program Welcomes You!

LIS Access Midwest Program (LAMP) is a regional network of academic libraries and information science schools dedicated to promoting careers within the field of library and information science (LIS) by encouraging promising undergraduate students at its member institutions to participate in activities and events designed to increase their awareness of the profession and to provide support for subsequent graduate studies in library and information science. Prospective students can learn more about LAMP’s application guidelines and selection process here.

LAMP seeks to employ a range of recruitment techniques including summer institutes and internships, peer and professional mentorship and guidance, and financial assistance for the completion of a Masters degree in LIS.  LAMP specifically seeks to encourage the participation of students from statistically and historically underrepresented populations in LIS.

LAMP Spotlight – Bojana Skarich

Bojana SkarichLibraries have made a huge impact on my life and have given me many tools to succeed. I believe I am a successful person today because of them. My family were immigrants and we didn’t have a lot of money to spend on books, movies or CDs. I remember that my mom would take me to the library and show me that you could borrow all of these materials for free. Her taking me every Sunday to the library gave me an abundance of knowledge and curiosity. Libraries supplied me with the stories, adventures and with educational materials that I could not have obtained otherwise, and with the joy at knowledge for its own sake.

All throughout college, I relied on the Interlibrary Loan system to provide me with text books and this also helped me grow and develop. I loved searching for materials and shelf browsing to develop ideas for my senior thesis. I remember when I graduated from college and was looking for work, I would use the Internet at the local public library in order to send resumes and look up available jobs. There were not many jobs beyond minimum wage -even for college graduates – in Portland, OR where I lived, and I was growing anxious over what I could do to support myself. I worked a couple of retail jobs, and although I could serve people, I felt that I wanted something more to stimulate my intellect. I communicated with several of my friends over email, and one of them, who is a librarian, recommended that I too, become a librarian.
