Abstract
Positivist concepts of knowledge, meaning, and communication, dominant within the discourse of library and information science, are facing a crisis in that they are unable adequately to characterize and structure the experience of interacting with and within the modern academic library. Addresses the issue of epistemology and library and information science by considering Michel Foucault's (1967/1977) essay 'La bibliothèque fantastique': is a work of literary criticism rather than a 'scientific' analysis. The usefulness of considering the library experience from the point of view of literary criticism lies in its potential to provide an alternative perspective from which the rationalistic assumptions of a positivistic epistemology can be foregrounded, transcended, and critiqued, along with the conception of the academic library which it supports
