The center's purpose is to bring together top researchers in information science, business information systems, communication, computer science, security, technology and cognition by providing a collaborative environment for the advancement of digital knowledge management in the 21st century.

The goal of the center is to take innovative approaches to interdisciplinary research by identifying the theoretical frameworks and practical applications that can enhance the creation, storage, organization, retrieval, use and evaluation of information in a wide variety of digital formats.

Key focal areas of current research include digital imaging, information policy, information security and law, knowledge architecture, distributed learning, human information behavior, and information identification, organization and retrieval.

The initial founding fellows of the center are faculty researchers from the information sciences doctoral program.
