About

Why Your Support Matters

The LSU School of Information Studies (SIS) advances LSU’s land-grant mission by empowering communities through innovative teaching, research, and service that help people make sense of information in a complex world. SIS envisions a future where forward-thinking, technology-driven education prepares information professionals to bring clarity, access, and understanding to the digital age. Rooted in innovation, opportunity, and public service, the school transforms chaos into knowledge for the benefit of all.

Every day, we’re driven by our commitment to advancing information studies, library science, archives, and records management through innovative teaching, impactful research, and real-world service. Guided by nationally recognized faculty who are leading voices in their fields, SIS prepares students to organize, preserve, and connect people to knowledge in ways that strengthen communities and shape a more informed future. Together, these efforts build stronger teams across our campus and beyond.

This LSU Giving Day, your gift will strengthen the winning teams that drive SIS to do what it does best: empower Tigers to lead, learn, and make a difference. Thank you for your support!
