The Library Science student body was first organized when the Class of 1928 met and elected four officers. In 1957, the group was recognized as LSSO, the Library Science Student Organization. In 1964, organization business was presented to students at weekly convocations. In 1986, the organization changed its name to the School of Information and Library Studies Student Association (ILSSA) to correspond to the new title of the school. Since the early 1980's the organization has served more as a link between the student body and the administration. Before then, the organization served more as a social outlet for students. The name was changed again in 1988 to School of Infomration Student Association (SISA) when the School of Information and Library Studies became the School of Information.
