Abstract

The need for information science (IS), curricula was recognized in the early 1960s. Drexel's IS curriculum was one of the earliest. I recall the background, need, and Drexel's response as learned from experience as student and faculty member in the program and comment specifically on the students, faculty, and coursework. I suggest that disciplines emerge from interdisciplinary sources in response to a perceived need. As they merge as disciplines, subdisciplines branch off. The fundamental framework remains.
