Abstract
This study analyzes the 115 member schools of the iSchool consortium, as of May 2020, based on the programs offered, the core (required) courses in these programs, faculty research productivity, and journals in which faculty most commonly publish their work. Findings reveal that library and information science/information studies programs remain the most common members of the consortium, while the most common core courses include research methods, introduction to the program, and organization of knowledge/information. The top journals for iSchool faculty members include Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Library Quarterly, and Library and Information Science Research. These findings provide a conception of the evolving intellectual structure of the consortium and its members.
