On February 16, 1974, about twenty members of Beta Phi Mu started Texas' first chapter, becoming charter members of the Beta Eta Chapter at The University of Texas at Austin. They pledged to recognize scholastic achievement and scholarly contributions to library and information science, to sponsor and support appropriate professional and scholarly projects, and to improve the quality of library and information science in the Southwest region of the United States.
Over the last few years the UT iSchool's chapter has been less active than in past years. Get ready for that to change! We are working with alumni members to get chapter activities started again. If you are interested in helping us see that our chapter takes off and becomes a strong active chapter again, contact Cassie Alvarado at 512-232-9676 or cassie@ischool.utexase.edu
