Central to all of these subjects is an interest in how people and information connect. This can range from a child using a library, a doctor working in a hospital, a lawyer researching a case, to a citizen's right to information about their government.We are also interested in how culture is shared in society, through access to books in libraries, artefacts in museums and historical documents in archives.

Our graduates work in libraries, schools, hospitals, businesses, government departments and record offices.
