The flourishing of interdepartmental
linkages across the OSU campus will
inevitably lead to a more diverse
interdisciplinary environment which we
believe will provide further momentum
for LIS/GIS. This area may be wide in
scope and difficult to define, but it has
certainly created a great deal of excitement
in many different disciplines and provided
the stimulus for reorienting and rethinking
our existing disciplinary foci and
boundaries. Since we are already losing
the battle against many problems such as
poverty and pollution, this reorientation
and rethinking is essential if those of us
in education are to contribute to the
problems of the nineties.
