This landmark work traces the heritage of thought, from the beginnings of modern science in the seventeenth century, until today, that has influenced the profession of library and information science.
Provides a much-needed discussion of the relationship between interpretation and the work done in library and information science (LIS). This book is an ambitious project, and it is a welcome and praiseworthy addition to the LIS literature....this text lays the groundwork for more interpretive work to emerge in LIS.
