Doctor of Philosophy in Information Science - Library and Information Science

Through coursework and practica, Ph.D. candidates develop a strong foundation in information science, learning to identify critical problems and rigorously researching their solutions. Students become well versed in the scope, origins, methods, issues and theoretical framework that define the iSchool?s uniquely interdisciplinary approach to the study of information. Ph.D. students at the iSchool come from a variety of professional experiences and academic backgrounds, such as information science, social sciences, computer science, library services, law, and information technology.

The iSchool?s research in Library and Information Science (LIS) is diverse in the methods, topics, and technologies used by individual faculty members, but we are united by a collective goal to advance societal understanding of the impact that information services and systems have on all people?s pursuit of knowledge, self-expression, and civic engagement. We contribute novel research to LIS fields such as public librarianship, knowledge organization, archival studies, data and software curation, children?s literature and youth services, digital literacy, and the digital humanities. LIS faculty are individually and collectively dedicated to pursuing these topics through a lens of justice, equity, and inclusivity.
