Budd, John M.

Reference & User Services Quarterly, v40 n3 p256-63 Spr 2001

Discusses the need for a conceptual framework for librarianship and information seeking and suggests that the writings of M.M. Bakhtin can provide an important aid to theoretical groundings and for the rethinking of public services in libraries. Highlights include Bakhtin's views on phenomenology, dialogic communication, and information seeking. (Author/LRW)
