520 3 |a The Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) is the current course being offered by the Institute of Library Science, UP Diliman. It replaced the previous program, Bachelor of Library Science (BLS), and was introduced in AY 1995-1996 with an initial number of thirty-eight students. Three new IT-based elective subjects were introduced to give it a more IT-driven inclination. 
520 3 |a The students' mode of entry to the BLIS program varies, with most of them classified as shiftees from other courses, particularly from the College of Engineering, UP Diliman. Others are original BLIS freshmen. The rest are transferees from other UP units and other schools/colleges/universities. Their respective undergraduate theses can be classified either as information technology-related or non-information technology-related. Moreover, their first full-time jobs after graduation may be considered either as library work or non-library work; and, as information technology-related or non-information technology-related. 
520 3 |a The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between a BLIS graduate's type of thesis and mode of entry to the BLIS program, and his or her first full-time job after graduation. The subjects for this study were BLIS graduates from 2nd Semester 1996-1997 - Summer 2001. This research was done during the 2nd Semester of Academic Year 2001-2002. Sixty-eight (68) out of the population of 96 graduates responded to the survey, for a 70.83 percent response rate. 
520 3 |a To test the hypotheses, Chi-Square was used. The level of significance was set at a0.05. Descriptive statistics was employed to present frequency distribution and percentages of the answers according to the independent and dependent variables. Chi-Square reveals that thesis topic and mode of entry of the respondent are significantly related to the choice of first post-graduate job, in terms of whether it is information technology or non-information technology-related. On the other hand, chi-square reveals that thesis topic, mode of entry and classification of former course of the respondents are not significantly related with their choice of first post-graduate job, in terms of whether it is library or non-library work.
