What are the information sciences?
PEOPLE. INFORMATION. TECHNOLOGY.
The information sciences are centered around finding new ways to solve problems. We help people to discover better information, design and use better technology, and to make better decisions. Whether those problems are in business, medicine, education, the arts, or any number of other fields, information professionals are able to grapple with the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.The iSchools Caucus
