Information Studies and Other Provocations: Selected Talks, 2000-2019

By Jonathan Furner

What is information studies? And why does it matter? UCLA professor Jonathan Furner takes a sideways look at some of the perennial questions facing the field in this selection of talks given at conferences, workshops, and other meetings over a two-decade period. Topics covered include the disciplinary nature of library and information science; the philosophy of information; the ontology of works, documents, and records; bibliographic classification and knowledge organization; vocabulary control and collaborative indexing; and information retrieval and scholarly communication.
