The panel will discuss the intellectual differences between iSchool and
Information Science programs that are not part of the iSchool Caucus, referred here as L-Schools. The panelists, who represent both communities, will discuss
the foundational, philosophical, and formal differences between the two types of programs, and focus on the intellectual diversity of the two academic
communities.
