Title

Factotem: what is information access for?

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 56(2018) no.8, S.665-682

Abstract

Inspired by Allyson Carlyle's advice to explain fundamental concepts clearly and simply, this article seeks to explain the notion of information access, and what it means to provide information access in a responsible way. Specifically, this essay looks at the idea of facts. How should providers of information deal with facts? To examine this question, the essay considers the 2017 protest slogan "Librarians for Facts." What does this slogan really mean? Ultimately, the essay contends that information providers need to determine what they are for, and orient information access mechanisms toward that goal.
