LISSA: Library and Information Science Student Association
LISSA is an official student chapter of the American Library Association (ALA). Each undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in the School of Library and Information Science is automatically a LISSA member.
LISSA was named "Outstanding Student Chapter of the Year" in 2005 by the USM Office of Student Activities. LISSA is active in several areas, including volunteer support of the Children's Book Festival, hosting speakers on professional development, and providing activities for social interaction between both students and faculty.
