Abstract
supporting our first group of graduate students in this program. The design of this program is the culmination of careful research, discussions, and planning by many. Still, we view these early stages of deployment as a critical time to review and further shape the nature and directions of this interdisciplinary program and to share philosophies, experiences, and lessons with our colleagues in the HCI and Information Science communities. We hope to contribute to this workshop by sharing our goals, program design, and early experiences, and likewise benefit from the related efforts and experiences of others. PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS Digital technologies have become pervasive in culture, economy, law, government, and research, dramatically changing the way people work and live. We believe that the proliferation and significance of these complex technological systems of information demands a new focus in academic scholarship- one committed to crossdisciplinary study, astute about both the technical and the social, and devoted to integrating theory, investigation, design, and practice. Information Science at Cornell brings together faculty, students and researchers who share an interest in combining computer science with the social sciences of how people and society interact with information. The program brings together information systems and HCI, a fruitful merger which has also been made is programs at UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, University of Maryland, and others. The focus of the Information Science Ph.D. program at Cornell is on systems and their use. Moreover, Information
