The Faculty of Information (or the iSchool at the University of Toronto) is a graduate school that offers a Master of Information (MI), Master of Museum Studies (MMSt), and a PhD in Information, as well as diploma courses and a Juris Doctor/Master of Information (JD/MI) combined program. As a member of the iSchool movement, the Faculty of Information takes an interdisciplinary approach to information studies, building on its traditional strengths in library and information science, complemented by research and teaching in archives, museum studies, information systems and design, critical information studies, knowledge management, digital humanities, the history of books, and other related fields. It is located on St. George Campus, in the Claude Bissell building, at 140 St. George Street, which is attached to the John P. Robarts Research Library and the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.

History

The Faculty of Information was originally founded as the University of Toronto Library School within the Ontario College of Education in 1928 and was housed at 315 Bloor Street.^[1] In 1965, the School was designated as an independent unit within the university and became known as the School of Library Science and thus moved it quarters to 167 College Street and 256 McCaul Street.^[2] In 1971, SLS moved again to its present location at 140 St. George Street.^[3] In 1972, the name changed to the Faculty of Library Science (FLS), as the school attained faculty status.^[4] The names was changed again to the Faculty of Library and Information Science (FLIS) in 1982 and then the Faculty of Information Studies (FIS) in 1994.^[5] In 2004, FIS joined the iSchool Caucus and accordingly in 2008, it was renamed the Faculty of Information (FI), also identifying itself as "the iSchool at Toronto".^[6]
