Technology That Serves Humanity
What is an iSchool?
Welcome to the iSchool at UT Austin. A founding member of the iSchools Caucus and a founding department of the School of Computing, we work at the intersection of people, information, and technology. We study how people organize, preserve, and trust information; how technology meets the people who use it; and how computing and society shape one another.
