LIS Program Interviews

[Owly]

Hello All!

Congrats to those already accepted and those with interviews. Out of curiosity, what types of questions should prospective LIS admits expect during a 30 minute phone interview? I was contacted by an LIS program wanting to further discuss my qualifications as a potential admit.

Hi! This is very late, and I applied for MLIS programs with an archives concentration, but I suspect the questions they'd ask wouldn't be all that different. I had two interviews, and there was some overlap with their questions. Both schools asked me about my educational background and if I had experience working in a library or archives. They asked about my interest in their school (why I decided to apply and why I wanted to go there). At the end of the interview, I was given time to asked them questions.
