Information studies is the study of how information is created, distributed, described, accessed, evaluated, and received. The discipline critically analyzes all of these facets of the world of information, as well as how the transmission and consumption of information constructs culture. On the practical side, the field also promotes equitable access to that information. Information studies at Sarah Lawrence College promotes actively engaging these skills in the research process and in understanding how information impacts society.
