Library and information science: practice, theory, and philosophical basis [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents di€erent facets or aspects of Library and Information Science (LIS) from a theoretical and philosophical perspective. It begins with the presentation of di€erent attitudes towards LIS and the divergence between LIS as a knowledge producing and knowledge utilizing area. It goes on to discuss the di€erent labels for the discipline, its institutional aliations and some technology driven paradigms. Fields of LIS practices, examples of concrete research problems and the fundamental concepts are introduced as are subareas, theories, related disciplines, and approaches (``paradigms''/ metatheories). Also a short presentation of research methods and basic philosophical assumptions is included. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
