- There is a fieldwork requirement for three of the SLTP courses. This is different from the practicum.
SLTP students are required to complete 75 clock hours of fieldwork. It is recommended that these be
distributed in 25-hour blocks in each of the following three courses:
- LIS
406: Organization and Management of School Library Media Centers
- LIS
407: Reference/Information Services
- LIS
481: Children's Literature and Media Collections or LIS 483:
Young Adult Literature
- At the discretion of the program director, other courses or experiences can be substituted for part of
this requirement. Prior to beginning a fieldwork project for a class, students should discuss project ideas
with their professor.
- Fieldwork projects must be completed in a public school library in Massachusetts.
