Request for Help: LIS Bibliography
Next fall I will be teaching a doctoral seminar on the field of library and information science. The goal is to give doctoral students a grounding in the field as well as see how core LIS principles have evolved over time. Simply put, doctoral students will read seminal work on a key topic in the field, and then a recent article related to that topic to show how the idea has evolved over time.
This is where I need your help. The following list of topics came from the literature (particularly Dillon and Norris’ Fall 05 JELIS piece) and discussions here at Syracuse. It is not meant to be every topic, but rather keystone topics that introduce the breadth of the field (if you see big gaps I’d love to hear about those). Also note, this is one in a series of seminars and has a decidedly library science focus (there will be separate seminars on information systems, policy and the like).
I’m asking you take a look at the topics and send me the articles you feel are either seminal articles doctoral students should read, or current articles that represent current approaches to this topics (or both). I’ll post the completed bibliography online for all to see, comment upon and use.
Key Topics
- Organization of information
- Information systems analysis and design/delivery tools
- Evaluation, users and access
- Management and professional competence
- Information retrieval
- Information seeking
- Relationship of information science to library science
Thanks in advance
