Dept. of Information & Computer Sciences and the Library and Information Science Program : [2] Community home page

The mission of the Information and Computer Sciences Department is to nurture a world-class community of students and faculty dedicated to innovative scientific research and education in our discipline for the benefit of the participants, Hawaii, the United States, and the world. We recognize the mutual interdependence of research and teaching in our discipline, and seek both to instill our courses with the latest in research findings and to involve our students in our research work. We will provide leadership in the application of high technology to improve the educational experience. Our department will be a catalyst and a resource for the creation and growth of high technology organizations, and our alumni will be well-prepared for leadership roles in 21st century careers.

The Library and Information Science Program, which has a nearly 40-year history of quality and excellence in teaching, research and service, has produced hundreds of information professionals working in Hawaii and the nation and throughout the world. A great part of our success can be attributed to the visionary leadership and proactive planning that have marked the LIS Programs approach to addressing the realities of a rapidly changing information environment.
