Overview

Information Studies at University of Glasgow has a vibrant research culture that investigates a range of topics in the fields of information studies and digital culture, and digital humanities.

Rapid technological change, massive volumes of digital information of increasing complexity pose significant challenges to our individual and collective use and curation of information.

Features

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.

Programme Structure

Topics of particular interest within these areas include:

Visitor studies and evaluation of information use

Digital collections: use, value and impact

The transformation of archival practice

Digital manuscripts and advanced imaging

The use of digital tools and methods in humanities and arts research
