January 30, 2008 iSchool receives Mellon Grant The School of Information Sciences has received a five-year, $782,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support the development of a graduate research program designed to understand and influence the emergence of digital communication and research in academia, known as cyberscholarship. The grant also provides resources to hire a professor who will work within SIS and Pitt’s University Library System to explore how disciplines are re-examining scholarly priorities, reshaping methodologies, and redefining evidence bases as a result of new media and new tools, according to SIS dean and professor Ronald L. Larsen, who will lead the program. Learn more about this grant. January 29, 2008 Tailoring Your Studies at the iSchool The faculty of the iSchool have created a number of specializations within the Undergraduate and Master’s degree programs, allowing students to tailor their programs of study to meet specific career goals. These specializations have been developed to fulfill the current needs of the Information professions, and are based on advice from industry and professional experts.  Students are not required to select a specialization: many appreciate the flexibility offered by the general programs of study. If your academic or career goals are more closely aligned with a specific area, you can explore the many specializations offered at the iSchool.  To do so, visit these Web pages: Undergraduate specializations, Information Science & Technology specializations, Library & Information Science specializations, Telecommunications & Networking specializations.
