Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences and similarities in terms of research area and teaching area between the iSchools faculty members and non-iSchools faculty members within the traditional LIS schools offering a master’s programs accredited by the American Library Association (ALA) in the United States and Canada. The results indicate that iSchool faculty members have more interests on information system and retrieval while non-iSchool colleagues focus more on services on user populations, in both research area and teaching area.
