Research Areas

IST faculty, scholars and students conduct transformative research across a broad spectrum of human activities at the intersection of information, technology, and society. We strive to produce scholarly insights that facilitate the discovery, capture, retrieval, security, privacy, and connectivity of various forms of information as they relate to human and global challenges.

As one of the leading information schools in the country, it is our purpose to drive innovation and discovery in understanding interdisciplinary science and the nature of information, putting information science knowledge to use in building humanized technologies, and assessing how the social and organizational context of use influences and sustains information growth.
