    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the application of information field (iField), an initiative used to enrich and facilitate the generation, transfer, and curation of data, information, and knowledge by the widespread use of technology, at the Linnaeus University (LNU) in Sweden. The emergence of an idea came when LNU had a proven track record of interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations at the university. The potential benefits of LNU's membership in iSchools are also explored.
