Beta Phi Mu
Beta Phi Mu was founded in 1948 by a group of leading librarians and library educators to recognize and encourage scholastic achievement among library and information studies students. The motto, Aliis inserviendo consumor, meaning "Consumed in the service of others" was selected by the founders based on the concept of dedication of librarians and other information professionals to the service of others. Eligibility for membership in Beta Phi Mu is by invitation of the faculty from an American Library Association accredited professional degree program.
The Beta Phi Mu Insignia: The dolphin and anchor, mark of the Venetian printer Aldus
Manutius. Not only did Aldus strive to create beautiful editions of the Greek and
Latin Classics, but he dedicated his life to making his works accessible to many.
DU PHI Chapter: Established in the 1950's, DU's Graduate School of Library and Information Management (GSLIM) inducted over 100 students into Beta Phi Mu. Continuing with that tradition, the Library and Information Science (LIS) Program held DU's first Beta Phi Mu induction ceremony on April 22, 2005 at the Brown Palace Hotel. The inductees were chosen from the 2002-2005 academic years.
