The woman seated on the right is Professor Ila Justice and seated next to her is Dr. Mel Busbin. The Department of Library Science was designed for students intending to be librarians, library administrators, or media specialists for school media centers. It became the Department of Educational Media in the College of Learning and Human Development in the late 1970s, and became the Department of Library Science and Educational Foundations in the mid 1980s. The Library Science program is currently within the Department of Leadership and Educational Studies in the Reich College of Education. Library Science coursework has been available at Appalachian State since 1937 and certified since 1942.
