The informational disciplines

By Lorcan Dempsey

This is an excerpt from a longer contribution I made to Responses to the LIS Forward Position Paper: Ensuring a Vibrant Future for LIS in iSchools. [pdf] It is a sketch only, and somewhat informal, but I thought I would put it here in case of interest. It occasionally references the position paper, and the longer piece of which it is a part. It is also influenced by the context in which it was prepared which was a discussion of the informational disciplines and the iSchool in R1 institutions.

This is an excerpt from a longer contribution I made to Responses to the LIS Forward Position Paper: Ensuring a Vibrant Future for LIS in iSchools. [pdf] It is a sketch only, and somewhat informal, but I thought I would put it here in case of interest. I have not revised it. This is the introduction and summary, and it extensively references the full response and the Position Paper itself. I link to the position paper, my response, and sections excerpted here below.
