ABOUT i SCHOOLS

The i Schools Caucus consists of schools interested in the relationship between information, technology, and people. This is characterized by a commitment to learning and understanding of the role of information in human endeavors. The i Schools Caucus works toward this vision that emphasizes connecting people with information by designing, developing, and evaluating information technologies, systems and services and they bring together faculty from a range of more traditional disciplines to conduct multidisciplinary research. The i Schools take it as a given that expertise in all forms of information is required for progress in science, business, education, and culture. This expertise must include understanding of the uses and users of information, as well as information technologies and their applications.
