Information and Service Design

The Information and Service Design (ISD) program was established at UC Berkeley's School of Information in 2007 to provide a focus for teaching and research on the skills and concepts required by a service-led and information-powered economy. Our major activities include:

• The ISD program runs a Clinic where students gain hands on experience in information service design and consultant practice.
• The ISD program has research initiatives in mobile and location-based services, and systems that facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among professional communities.
• The ISD program works to advance service research by hosting a lecture series, organizing an annual symposium, and by hosting visiting scholars. The ISD program also encourages collaboration with other academic, nonprofit, and commercial partners.
