Library and Information Science as a Social Science: Neutral and Normative Conceptions.
Dick, Archie L.
Library Quarterly, v65 n2 p216-35 Apr 1995
When library education was institutionalized at universities, it pursued a social scientific path of disciplinary growth; objectivity and neutrality became ideals of library education. A different conception of social science provides the basis for recent challenges to the library and information science profession's traditional perception of itself. (90 references) (Author/AEF)
