Philosophical foundations and research relevance: issues for information research - 0 views

Information behaviour research is another area where there is some degree of cohesion around models and methods that have won some support (e.g., Wilson, 1981, 1999; Dervin, 1992; Kuhlthau, 1994) and, in that field, there is, perhaps, a developing consensus on an appropriate framework for investigation.

The information retrieval specialist, on the other hand, conceives of information in terms of strings of symbols, matching query strings against indexed strings. The librarian sees information in terms of the macro containers; books, reports, journals and, now, electronic documents of various kinds, and, indeed of a higher level of organization, the library itself. In other words, information itself is not a unitary concept, but has different levels of organization, around which different theories are built and practices evolved. Consequently, there cannot be a unitary information science, but only different approaches to information from the perspective of the integrative level involved.

Critical Thinking in an Online World - 0 views

We do not expect our learner to travel down our same path as librarian or researcher but to become independent knowledge seekers. There is no right or wrong process of research, although there are many heuristics we can pass on. Applicable use of information requires that we see knowledge acquisition as amorphous and changing. As librarians, so we are too. Let us teach those who come to us our strengths, not our past.
Mooers' Law: In and Out of Context - 0 views
-
Mooers actually suggested that it was too much trouble to have information because then you'd have to do something about it, and it wasn't about building better databases; his law was adapted to the LIS field to mean the same as the Law of Least Effort. It's an intellectual climate that is the problem. He was pointing to certain specific environments where this is true (such as some companies or laboratories).
