Key facts
- Rapid technological change, massive volumes of digital information of increasing complexity pose significant challenges to our individual and collective use and curation of information. Fundamental concepts such as identity, memory, authenticity, trust, transparency, accountability, representation, engagement, preservation and access are important aspects of information studies in a digital era. These concerns demand a fresh theoretical approach, a deeper understanding of the nature of information and innovative solutions that connect theory with practice, people with information, and technology with humanity. This is why the Information Studies program of the University of Glasgow was created.
Courses include:
- Theoretical approaches to information
- Management, Curation and Evaluation of Digital Assets
- Archive, Records and Information Management
- Digital Cultural Heritage and Digital Museology
- Digital Humanities and Arts
