The University of Pittsburgh's School of Information Sciences (or the iSchool) is one of the nation’s pioneering schools in the education of information professionals, with a history that reaches back more than a hundred years to the days of Andrew Carnegie. As of 2009, it is ranked 10th in the list of Top Schools of Library and Information Studies by ''US News & World Report'' and is one of the original members in the list of I-Schools.
