Abstract: |
Information schools (“I-schools”) have played a crucial role in the recent history of library and information science (LIS) education in the United States. This paper identifies key characteristics of i-schools and describes how they have helped address long standing challenges in LIS education. With a focus on “People, Information, and Technology”, i-schools have built strong multidisciplinary programs in research and instruction. As a result, i-schools have achieved increased stature and relevance, cross disciplinary partnerships, increased student enrollment, and stronger financial standing. The i-school model also has relevance outside the U.S., as can be seen in i-school models which are emerging in China, India, Japan, Singapore, and Germany.12 refs. |
