ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Information schools are essentially a concept and a movement that has emerged to shape and foster a multidisciplinary approach to the study of 'Information'. These schools have taken different routes from different disciplinary origins, primarily Library and Information Science, Information and Computer Technology, Media and Communication, Archives and Recordkeeping, and Business Management.

This one day workshop is planned to foster exchange and collaboration among educators, researchers and practitioners who are involved in information schools of all types from different regions of the world. It will help participants to share information about faculty and student exchange and recruitment opportunities, experiences and lessons learnt.
