The introductory Information Systems (IS) course is a critical course at the beginning of every IS/IT major's degree. While many textbooks exist that are focused solely on this course, they all vary in the covered topics and the depth of material. This research examined most major textbooks focused on the introductory course and, through qualitative and quantitative analysis, reached a final set of 14 themes that should be taught in this course. Implications are drawn and the groundwork for future studies are laid.
