The iSchools Organisation is happy to announce a new Basic-level member that has joined the organisation: the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts, Department of Library and Information Science and Book Studies (Slovenia)! The iSchool joined the organisation as the 133th iSchool worldwide. Tanja Merčun Kariž and Polona Vilar represent their iSchool in the iSchools community. Welcome!
The Department of Library and Information Science and Book Studies at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs in librarianship, information science, and publishing. The department combines traditional library science with contemporary shifts in the information society and various information services.
Students at the bachelor's and master's levels can pursue single or combined courses of study, while the doctoral program in Information Science is part of an interdisciplinary Humanities and Social Sciences curriculum. This program includes both full-time doctoral students funded by the national “young researcher scheme” and part-time students who work full time while pursuing their doctorates. Supported by the Slovenian Research Agency, the core research programme, “Modelling of Bibliographic Information Systems,” integrates diverse areas such as bibliographic information modelling, metadata research, information behaviour and use, user experience, reading habits, and gamification. Additionally, the department collaborats on Erasmus+ and bilateral projects, enhancing the research and international collaborations.
Tanja Merčun Kariž and Polona Vilar will represent this new iSchool regionally and internationally.
The iSchools organization was founded almost two decades ago. The iSchools educate thought-leaders of the future, and their researchers focus on enhancing the lives of people, the productivity of companies, the innovation cycles of industries, the design of technologies, the policies that govern technology and information use, information services to communities, and much more. The iSchools Organisation currently consists of 133 iSchools worldwide.
