This discussion is intended for those people thinking about getting a
Ph.D. in LIS or related fields.  A panel of current and recently
completed doctoral students will discuss issues that include: Do I need

should I think about as I make my decision?  How do I select the program
that fits my needs?  What should I expect?

will then be opened for questions and discussion.

If you are thinking about getting a doctorate, or trying to decide which
school to attend, please come to the meeting and share the experiences of
people currently in doctoral programs.
