This poster presents preliminary results from a one‐year project to study the convergence of Library and Information Studies, Archival Studies, and Museum Studies (LAM) education in ALA‐accredited graduate programs in North America. This mixed‐methods study resulted in a survey of graduate programs, and an on‐going series of interviews with key knowledgeable persons within those programs. Initial results reveal a tension between the desire to formalize ties among LAM graduate programs at universities and the desire to adhere to the inherent cultures of Libraries, Archives, and Museums.
