The site is hosted by <a href="http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/" target="_blank">Drexel University's College of Information Science & Technology</a>, and a <a href="http://www.ipl.org/div/about/IPLconsortium/consortiumList.html">consortium of colleges and universities</a> with programs in information science are involved in developing and maintaining the ipl2. ipl2 is a public service organization and a learning/teaching environment. To date, thousands of students and volunteer library and information science professionals have been involved in answering reference questions for our <a href="http://www.ipl.org/div/askus/">Ask an ipl2 Librarian service</a> and in designing, building, creating and maintaining the ipl2's collections. It is through the efforts of these students and volunteers that the ipl2 continues to thrive to this day.
