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 – Cristina Springfield
I became interested in librarianship after a professor mentioned the idea to me. I was a Journalism major in college, and in many ways I
see a connection between the two professions–sharing, uncovering, and
providing information to people to help them lead better lives. It
seemed like a great way to combine my passion for helping people with
my interest in the written word. After attending my first LAMP
institute, in the summer before beginning library school, I found out
librarianship involved much more! I attended graduate school at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and am currently working as a
librarian with a focus in library technology at Madison Area Technical
College in Madison, Wisconsin, as well as a library assistant in Youth
Services at Fitchburg Public Library in Fitchburg, Wisconsin.
