The School of Information faculty and students preserve the past, manage the present, and design the future. Information is interesting, is of value, indeed exists only as it relates to the human interpretation of it, the human use of it. The Information Architecture, Design, and Usability (IADU) concentration of the iSchool is dedicated to:

• research in the human use of information,
• the training of human information processing researchers, and
• the training of information professionals in the design and evaluation of human-information systems.

Three tenets of this study and training are:

• an empirical approach to design,
• a mixed- (or multi-) methods approach to research and design, and
• a collaborative approach, including collaboration:
• among faculty,
• with students,
• with other programs on the UT campus, and
• with other academic institutions, private companies, and governmental agencies.
