Despite the death threats against schools of library and information science (LIS) that were rampant during the final decades of the twentieth century, LIS graduate programs are alive and well and have a promising prognosis for the twenty-first century. The challenge, however, is to adapt to the changing personae of the American university and the emerging roles of information professionals in all aspects of our society. Today’s university is less concerned with maintaining the strict boundaries of traditional disciplines and instead encourages thinking that is transdisciplinary. Although this new model respects the uniqueness of various subject areas, it celebrates collaboration . . .

In developing world-class disciplines, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made swift progress in the field of quantum information, which is an all-new and non-mainstream discipline in physics. From a cultural perspective, this paper analyses the construction of the academic–research–production–application chain of USTC's quantum information discipline. It also explores the values and implementation schemes adopted in the development of a leading and open scientific research platform and a high-calibre research team. Based on the analysis, it summarizes the features of scientific culture in this discipline, such as an emphasis on basic education, the integration of research institutes with teaching departments, inclusiveness to cater for various interests, and persistence in serving the country through science.
