Without it, progress will invariably be limited and narrow". To do this, an iSchool at your university is essential. There is no single subject or discipline for this, it has to be outside traditional boundaries or it will not work. To lead change, scholarship must cross boundaries and equip the next generation of graduates to think in terms of leveraging human abilities through new IT. "The most pressing problems of the 21st century are trans-disciplinary and invariably mediated by information or its associated technologies. The need for the iField and the iSchool at Linnaeus University is best described in the following paragraph by Professor Andrew Dillon, Head of iSchool at the University of Austin at the time, Linnaeus University's iSchool project advisor (2017):" Disciplines of the iField include computer science, library and information science, business informatics, knowledge management, business, sociology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, linguistics, media, with a range of applied fields and disciplines such as astronomy, medicine, biology, health, history, religion, archaeology, musicology, literature, art. The aim of the iSchools organisation is to promote and practice the iField. Today, the iSchool organisation involves over 100 prestigious universities from around the world.
