Partners
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library at San José State University, in partnership with the City of San José Public Library, the San José University School of Library and Information Science, and the National Hispanic University, received funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Studies (IMLS) for the Librarians for Tomorrow program.
- The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library opened in 2003 as a unique collaboration between the City of San José and San José State University (SJSU), the oldest public institution of higher education on the West Coast. Located in the heart of one of the most culturally diverse places on earth, the nation's first jointly operated academic and public library is the ideal place to recruit and train the next generation of library leaders who represent the nation's rich diversity.
- SJSU is also home to the world's largest accredited Master's in Library and Information Science (MLIS) program in the world, with 2,200 students.
- Nearby, at the National Hispanic University, more than 90% of undergraduates are of Hispanic descent.
This unique cluster of organizations offers a distinctive opportunity to recruit and train librarians capable of serving all communities and shaping
library services for decades to come.
