Information has long been an essential in conducting human affairs, but it is surprising that informatics (information science) has not been established as a field of study within education. This paper attempts to formalize educational informatics through a needs assessment approach and to outline a research agenda. The four needs considered are justification, definition, differentiation, and organization. These areas must be defined and developed to sustain informatics as a field within education. With regard to research, eight areas are identified as starting points for detail and expansion: (1) access/equity; (2) learning; (3) dissemination; (4) processing; (5) professional development; (6) services/networks; (7) users/seekers; and (8) retrieval. These areas do not encompass all research opportunities, but they are offered as starting points. (Contains 15 references.)
