iCaucus Members Directory Cornell University Bowers College of Computing and Information Science iCaucus United States of America North America Member Since 2016 Visit School About Cornell University undertook a bold experiment in 1999 when it created its combined Faculty of Computing and Information Science (“CIS”) as an interdisciplinary unit that would see its people, programs, and projects embedded throughout the university. That integration envisioned and executed decades ahead of its time evolved from the understanding that data, computation, and emerging technologies would transform virtually every area of academic inquiry and every aspect of our lives. It built on Cornell’s longstanding, behemoth, and continuing strengths in computer science as well as in artificial intelligence and in the social and behavioral sciences that inform the full range of CIS’s innovative, cross-disciplinary teaching and research. In forging its path over the last two decades, CIS has continued to develop new understandings, ethical approaches, and technologies for the information age and created the blueprint for the field of computing and information science that others still emulate today. Cornell Bowers CIS comprises three departments: Computer Science, Information Science, and Statistics and Data Science with top-ranked programs in computer security, web information retrieval, computational social science, economics and computation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining. Combined, and in their interactions with adjoining fields, these disciplines position Cornell as a leader in developing and driving the visionary research and technological advances that connect people, information, and ideas. iSchool Contacts Sorin Lerner Dean of College Machine Learning Methods and Theory Contact Contact Contact

Basic Members Directory University of Montréal École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information Basic Canada North America Member Since 2017 Visit School About L'École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information (EBSI) est une école professionnelle de la Faculté des arts et des sciences (FAS) dont les programmes de maîtrise en sciences de l'information et de doctorat en sciences de l'information relèvent des Études supérieures et postdoctorales (ESP). L'EBSI est en filiation directe avec l'École des bibliothécaires, fondée en 1937. Totalement restructurée en 1961, elle devient partie intégrante de l'Université de Montréal sous le nom d'École de bibliothéconomie. De 1961 à 1970, elle dispense un programme de baccalauréat en bibliothéconomie en 1 an (1961 à 1966) puis en 2 ans (1966 à 1971). À l'instar des autres écoles canadiennes et américaines, et pour se conformer aux exigences de l'agrément de l'American Library Association (ALA), l'École de bibliothéconomie dispense, à partir de la décennie 1970, un programme de maîtrise. Le programme, agréé par l'ALA, exige que les étudiantes et étudiants admis en maîtrise, 1er grade terminal dans la discipline, possèdent à l'admission un 1er cycle universitaire dans n'importe quel domaine du savoir, sciences, sciences sociales, sciences humaines, sciences de la santé, science politique, ingénierie, etc. L'École a obtenu l'agrément de l'ALA pour la 1re fois en 1969 et son agrément lui fut successivement renouvelé en 1976, 1985, 1992, 2000, 2008 et 2015. Cette évaluation en profondeur a valeur de reconnaissance de qualité pour l'École qui, ayant obtenu l'agrément, peut participer au réseau des écoles agréées nord-américaines. Pour ses diplômées et diplômés, l'agrément ouvre le vaste marché de l'emploi relié aux champs disciplinaires des sciences de l'information au Québec, bien sûr, mais aussi dans l'ensemble du Canada et aux États-Unis. De 1971 à 1984, l'École a décerné un diplôme de maîtrise en bibliothéconomie (M.Bibl.). En 1984, l'École a pris le nom d'École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l'information et le libellé du diplôme de maîtrise a été changé en maîtrise en bibliothéconomie et sciences de l'information (M.B.S.I.). En 1998, après une révision en profondeur du programme de maîtrise, le nouveau diplôme est devenu maîtrise en sciences de l'information (M.S.I.), nom qui a été maintenu lors des révisions de programme subséquentes, en 2009 et 2020. L'École offre, depuis 1983, un certificat en archivistique et depuis 2001, un certificat en gestion de l'information numérique. Chacun de ces certificats de 1er cycle comprend 10 cours totalisant 30 crédits. Depuis septembre 1997, l'École dispense également un programme de doctorat en sciences de l'information. Et depuis l'automne 2017, l'EBSI collabore à un programme de 2e cycle de la Faculté des arts et des sciences, le diplôme d'études supérieures spécialisées en édition numérique (D.E.S.S.). Enfin, en 2016, l'EBSI est admise comme membre des iSchools, un consortium international d'écoles offrant des programmes d'études supérieures en sciences de l'information et dont les activités de recherche sont consacrées à l'avancement de la discipline. Par cette adhésion, l'EBSI se positionne au sein des leaders mondiaux dans le domaine, tant sur le plan de la recherche que de l'enseignement. iSchool Contacts Lyne Da Sylva Director of School Computational linguistics Contact Contact Contact
