Abstract

The iSchools represent an international community of over 130 university faculties. They have a shared interest in research and teaching about information. The findings reported here provide insight into the perspectives and visions of the deans and directors of 75 iSchools. Findings show that (1) attention to people, information, and technology represents shared values; and (2) the global identity of the community blends diversity and inclusiveness. The diversity and inclusiveness of the iSchools requires balancing academic traditions with innovations. The current leaders use this balance to the community's identity as well as Information Science scholarship as a discipline.
