Program and Faculty Support
Our mission at the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto is to push the frontiers of information practice and research across the disciplines of library and information science, museum studies, archives and records management, knowledge management, critical information studies and information systems and design. We have a bold agenda. We wish to reimagine our museums, galleries and other great cultural institutions that interpret history and provoke debate on the human condition. We believe that the benefits of the Information Society should be transmitted equitably around the world. And we will continue to reassess our relationship with information as a global commodity underlying all fields of endeavour. To achieve these goals, we plan to build on our strengths as a centre for education and research by supporting innovative programming and attracting exceptional scholars who will ensure our international prominence.
