Information studies breeds information and where best to share that information, but a blog? The iSchool started the Information Space, the official blog of the School of Information Studies incorporating the thoughts and ideas of students, faculty and staff in one place. From types of Twitter users to the strength of the Apple Brand, check out what we talk about when sitting in the iCafe or in the corridors of Hinds Hall.
