Two information schools from Korea and Thailand have joined the iSchools, taking their place among more than 120 institutions in the international organization’s membership.
New basic-level member Ewha Womans University Department of Library and Information Science is located in Seoul, Korea. Headed by Professor Sang-Yong Lee, the school currently has 24 students in its doctoral program, as well as nearly 200 master’s and undergraduate students.
Says the school: “iSchools membership [provides] an opportunity to expand our curriculum with greater emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches, which will help our students better address dynamic and complicated issues around information and technology.”
Also joining the organization is the Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) School of Liberal Arts. Located in Nonthaburi, Thailand, the school is headed by Assistant Professor Vasan Rattanapoka. STOU joins at the Associate level.
