History
Our origins are in the early twentieth century's Carnegie Library School, which merged with what is now Carnegie Mellon University in 1930. By the 1960s, these programs joined the University of Pittsburgh alongside the newly created Department of Computer Science. In 1973, the Interdisciplinary Department of Information Science (IDIS) was created in the School of Library and Information Science. The School of Computing and Information was formed in 2017, bringing together all computing, information, and library science programs as Pitt's first new school in more than 20 years.
