title = {Library and Information Science (LIS), Part 1},
year = {2018},
note = {This article outlines the history of library and information science
(LIS), from its roots in library science, information science and
documentation. It considers various conceptions or “paradigms” in
the field and discusses the topical content of LIS as well as the
relationships between LIS and other disciplines. The main argument of
the article is that answers to all such questions concerning LIS are
related to conceptions of LIS. It is argued that an updated version of
social epistemology (SE), which was founded by Egan and Shera in 1952,
may in hindsight provide the most fruitful theoretical frame for LIS.
SE is related to the domain-analytic approach, which was suggested by
Hjørland and Albrechtsen in 1995.},
