Abstract

Gary Olson recently moved to UCI from the University of Michigan, where as faculty member and acting dean, he participated in the formation of its influential School of Information, described in this article. I have helped track down historical information on other influential iSchools. We may be witnessing the birth of a new star in the academic firmament---its growth, so far only a little slower than a supernova, may be tested by the economic collapse, but could accelerate with a recovery.---Jonathan Grudin
