Empowering, Inspiring, Connecting
Driven by the pursuit of new ideas and big discoveries, faculty, researchers, and students at the UMD College of Information Studies (UMD iSchool) are combining principles of information science with cutting-edge technology to foster access to information, improve information interfaces, and expand how information is used. We tackle significant, real-world information challenges from diverse perspectives such as communication, information retrieval, policy, computer science, education, archives, business, human factors, law, humanities, and more. Our discoveries empower, inspire, and connect individuals and communities.
