University of Chicago Graduate Library School

The University of Chicago Graduate Library School (GLS) was the graduate-level librarianship school from 1928 to 1989 at the University of Chicago. It was established in 1928 to develop a program for the graduate education of librarians with a focus on research. Housed for a time in the Joseph Regenstein Library, the GLS closed in 1989 when the University of Chicago decided to promote information studies instead of professional education. GLS faculty were among the most prominent researchers in librarianship in the twentieth century.
