Basic Members Directory Kyushu University Department of Library Science Basic Japan Asia Pacific Member Since 2018 Visit School About As part of the effort to develop the new frontiers of science, and to reorganize and reintegrate the scientific knowledge accumulated so far, we opened a new graduate school, the Graduate School of Integrated Frontier Sciences in April 2009. The increasing specialization and segmentation of fields of study has resulted in a vast amount of intellectual assets. The school is designed to reorganize these assets to pursue new scientific knowledge and value in an integrated manner, thereby contributing to the solutions of various pressing problems that face today's scientific community and society at large, all while training personnel to acquire the ability to work for this end. It has three departments. The Department of Kansei Science aims to train highly skilled personnel who can lead in the creation of kansei value from the perspectives of the users, the main beneficiaries of knowledge, and with the correct understanding of human kansei needs. The Department of Automotive Science aims to train specialists to acquire the ability to contribute to the creation of a new automotive society based on an integrated and advanced knowledge of automobiles, state-of-the-art technologies, human needs, and society. And the Department of Library Science aims to train specialists required for the "field of the library" where new knowledge is created and maintained to enable user-oriented information management and provision. iSchool Contacts Emi Ishita Representative Contact Contact Contact

iCaucus Members Directory University of Washington The Information School iCaucus United States of America North America Member Since 2001 Visit School About The world creates almost 30 billion terabytes of data every second. So much information can be overwhelming. Rigorous study of the users and uses of information at the UW iSchool helps answer questions like: • How can we connect people with the right information at the right time? • How can we use information to help people achieve their potential? • How can we harness information’s capacity as an agent for positive change? Information schools are interested in the relationship between information, technology, and people. Graduates of information schools use their expertise for the advancement of science, business, education, and culture. This expertise is gained through the iSchool movement's investigation of the uses and users of information, as well as information technologies and their applications. In practice, this information orientation provides a focus on the organizational and social issues related to the ways people create, store, find, manipulate and share information. Graduates of information schools are adept at designing, refining and building information systems. They are attuned to the needs that drive people to seek information. They are concerned with issues like access, privacy and usability. And they understand the increasingly complex social and organizational environments in which people seek to fill their information needs — in theoretical, virtual and physical spaces. They are ambassadors for the transformative power of information when applied ethically and effectively. As a leading member of the iSchool movement, the UW is a model for other information schools around the globe. The UW iSchool's approach to information instruction and scholarship builds on the traditional roles filled by information professionals and infuses this with a strong emphasis on the technologies through which information is increasingly delivered. By tackling key social and technical problems in the information field, the iSchool has become an important link between users of information and designers of information systems, connecting society with the information it needs. iSchool Contacts Anind K.
