[Air-L] Pointers for Undergraduate degrees in Digital Cultures

[Lee Komito]

Dear Nishant,

While many Information Studies/Information Science degrees are 
postgraduate, there are also undergraduate programmes out there (e.g., 
ours in Information and Social Computing - http://www.ucd.ie/sils) in 
which I think there would be a lot of overlap with the kinds of issues 
you are talking about,

regards,
Lee
