走马观花看同行系列之三:Syracuse University
2006-08-11

School of Information Studies,Syracuse University
雪城大学信息学院的在全美的排名为第三.在学院官方主页上就像喜报性质的公告,可见US News的大学排名影响力和含金量都很高.前面的北卡和伊利诺伊也在其网站上报道了他们的排名,只是没有syracuse这么"兴奋".对于排名,该院给出了一个排名的链接(PDF).
学位:
- Master of Science in Library and Information Science
- Master of Science in Library and Information Science, School Media Specialization
- Master of Science in Information Management and Technology
- Master of Science in Telecommunications and Network Management
- Master of Science in Information Management in Washington, D.C.
- Ph.D in Information Science and Technolog
除了传统的图书情报领域的学位,学院提供了较多偏重信息管理的学位.从学院的网站上都能感觉到这是个以技术见长的院,可见信息系统排名全美LIS领域中第一并不是徒有虚名.
研究方向:(五大领域)
- Information and Telecommunications Management considers information and technologies within organizational contexts.
- Information in the Marketplace relates how organizations interact with each other and exchanging information and products.
- Information Representation and Retrieval forms the building blocks of information systems as well as the processes necessary to enable humans to access and use information.
- Human-Information Interaction focuses on people and how the individual or group seeks and uses the products of information representation and retrieval.
- Information and Society considers the implications and issues for culture and society of the broad scope of information systems and technologies.
Reseach Categories
• Information Organization and Retrieval
• Information Policy and Economics
• Information System Users
• Information Technology and Systems
• Information, Organizations, and Systems
• Information Technology Management每个大类的方向设有繁多的小方向,密密麻麻的再次让我汗颜!还发现一点,该院的项目非常多.
中国学生:(网上未公布在读研究生的信息)
武大去雪城大学的还是有一些的,01级信管今年就有去的.
听说雪城大学气候寒冷,经受不住的人可能会选马里兰大学.
上学期见识了该院院长Raymond F. von Dran 教授,非常和蔼可爱.他给我们作了一场报告,可惜自己听力太烂,听得不是很懂,但是觉得在全英语的环境下学习是很具有挑战性的,心里还是比较渴望的:)
补充一点:该院的秦健副教授是武大校友.1982年毕业于武汉大学图书馆信息学院图书馆学专业,1986年获加拿大西安略大学图书馆信息学硕士,1996年获在美国伊利诺大学香槟分校获哲学博士学位。现在美国雪城大学信息学院任副教授,她是美国信息和技术学会(ASIS&T)与专业图书馆协会(SLA)的会员,并担任过ASIS&T奖助项目的评审委员及SLA的编目委员会成员.

中国学生
学院的网站上只有Bei Yu & Jun Wang的profiles,他们可是"牛魔王夫妇"啊,呵呵!他们俩都在中科院计算机所读的硕士,Wang jun师兄是从武大出去的,他妻子是科大毕业的.他们俩都是九江人,和咱还是老乡啊!
学院的学生组织设有GSLIS Chinese Group (中国同学会),可见中国学生的人数还是很可观的,武大的比较多,比较符合马太效应:)
