信息研究哲学博士-多样性，可及性和包容性

随着访问信息的途径的发展和变化，信息科学领域的领导者正在努力确保新系统满足尽可能多的用户的需求。有关多样性，信息可访问性和包容性设计的研究致力于通过识别和消除信息访问障碍来使信息可供更广泛的人群使用。增强的信息可访问性使人类用户可以更简单，更有效地处理大量信息。包容性设计通过识别用户的多样性并设计可满足尽可能多用户需求的工具和系统，进一步提高了信息的可访问性。iSchool研究人员通过扩大包容性设计的范围，提出周到的政策建议并提倡面向在访问信息能力方面面临限制的用户，来打破信息访问的障碍。可穿戴技术，全面
As the avenues for accessing information develop and change, leaders in information science are striving to ensure that new systems meet the needs of as many users as possible. Research concerning diversity, information accessibility, and inclusive design strives to make information available to a wider range of people by identifying and eliminating barriers to information access. Increased information accessibility allows human users simpler and more effective ways of processing large volumes of information. Inclusive design furthers information accessibility by recognizing the diversity of users and designing tools and systems that address the needs of as many users as possible. iSchool researchers are breaking down barriers to information access by broadening the scope of inclusive design, developing thoughtful policy recommendations, and advocating for users who face limitations in their ability to access information. Breakthroughs in areas such as wearable technology, inclusive web design, and auto-personalization of interfaces and information are opening new doors for information access. From policies that create equitable broadband internet access to touchscreens designed for users with motor skill limitations, iSchool research is making information more accessible for real-world users.
