Alicia K. Long – Doctoral Candidate Portfolio

School of Information Science & Learning Technologies – University of Missouri

Welcome to my doctorate portfolio! I am a librarian and educator in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). You can find more about me in my Bio page. This portfolio compiles my work in the doctorate program at the University of Missouri, School of Information Science and Learning Technologies.

My research interests focus on the impact of socio-cultural perspectives in LIS education, information practices, and library services.

Through my research and work, I seek to help break down barriers to higher education/LIS for diverse populations, help diversify the library and information studies fields, and expose educational methods that contribute to social justice.
