Rez. in: JASIST 54(2003) no.1, S.91-92 (L.A. Ennis): "Historical Införmation Science: An Emerging Unidiscipline, the culmination of research and experience begun in the early 1970s, is a massive work in which Lawrence McCrank, Professor of Library and Information Science and Dean of Library and Information Service at Chicago State University, examines, explains, and discusses the interdisciplinary merging of history and information science. Spanning 1,192 pages McCrank argues for a new field of study called Historical Information Science to mesh "equally the subject matter of a historical field of investigation, quantified Social Science and linguistic research methodologies, computer science and technology, and information science . . . " (p. 1). Throughout this bibliographic essay, containing more than 6,000 citations, McCrank demonstrates how history and information science has the potential to compliment euch other. The primary focus of the book is an the access, preservation, and interpretation of historical resources and how information technology affects research methodology in various information settings such as libraries, museums, and archives. The book, however, is highly scholarly and highly theoretical, even philosophical, and not easy to read. Chapters one through five make up the 578 pages of the bibliographic essay portion of the book. Euch chapter is practically a monograph an its own. Although the individual chapters are divided and subdivided into sections the length and complexity of euch chapters combined with the author's verbosity often obscure the chapters' main focus and argument."
