The College of Information was created on October 1, 2008, by consolidating two existing academic units. The subsequent name change to the College of Information was effective May 1, 2009. The college comprises two departments: Learning Technologies (formerly in the College of Education) and Library and Information Sciences (formerly the School of Library and Information Sciences).

The college situates itself at the intersection of people, technology and information. Its faculty, staff and students invest in innovative research, collaborative partnerships and student-centered education to serve a global information society. The college is dedicated to serving state, regional, national and global communities by preparing information leaders and innovators; forging the creation of transformative and translational knowledge; and sharing knowledge that addresses information challenges and problems. The college’s goals are to

• provide exemplary learning opportunities and instruction facilitated through varied formats, technology-rich environments and an accomplished faculty who embrace diversity in all college endeavors;
• contribute leading-edge research, scholarship and creative pursuits for a global informational society; and
• nurture the professional endeavors of faculty and staff, the university and the general public through outstanding leadership, consulting, community engagement and continuing education.
