- Abstract
- State of the art review of the historical development of information science as deemed to be covered by the particular interests of memebers of the American Society for Information Science, as defined as the representation, storage, transmission, selection, retrieval, filtering, and use of documents and messages. Arranges the references cited roughly according to the classification scheme used by Information Science Abstracts, and so uses the headings: background; information science; techniques and technology; information related behaviour; application areas; social aspects; education for information science; institutions; individuals; geographical areas; and conclusions

- Abstract
- Dynamic social impact theory (DSIT) accounts for how culture could emerge from individual experience and everyday interaction. Sets out propositions and derivations of DSIT. DSIT account for 5 key features of culture: regional clustering, correlation amog cultural elements, consolidation of minorities, and continuing diversity, but it does not enable predictions about some aspects of culture

- Abstract
- Draws on recent literature form the fields of library and information science, communication studies and social sciences to discuss the issues underpinning current attempts to justify public library provision of information in a social context where information is beginning to be seen as a commodity. Discusses the conventional rationale for public library provision, defines the social impact of public libraries and places it in historical context. Considers the present urgency of current concerns with particular reference to funding. Concludes that research and demonstration programmes in this field aim to provide new evidence about the effectiveness and value of public libraries. The rationale for public libraries must take into account their continuing vital function as a promoter of citizenship and democracy

- Abstract
- Knowledge management research focuses on the development of concepts, methods, and tools supporting the management of human knowledge. The main objective of this paper is to survey some of the basic concepts that have been used in computer science for the representation of knowledge and summarize some of their advantages and drawbacks. A secondary objective is to relate these techniques to information sciences theory and practice. The survey classifies the concepts used for knowledge representation into four broad ontological categories. Static ontology describes static aspects of the world, i.e., what things exist, their attributes and relationships. A dynamic ontology, on the other hand, describes the changing aspects of the world in terms of states, state transitions and processes. Intentional ontology encompasses the world of things agents believe in, want, prove or disprove, and argue about. Social ontology covers social settings, agents, positions, roles, authority, permanent organizational structures or shifting networks of alliances and interdependencies

- Abstract
- Reports results of a study of the interaction between information use and learning outcome, when high school students work at an assignment implying independent use of information. Discusses elements involved in information seeking behaviour and some aspects of information use related to the contextual aspects of group interaction and students' understanding of assignment goals. The project was conducted using 25 Swedish high school students working on a social studies assignment about the implications of Swedish membership of the European union

- Abstract
- Describes various aspects of the pressures of the information revolution and proposals for information superhighways impacting the US Depository Library Program, the National Research and Information Network, and the National Information Infrastructure. Analyzes the information to disclose the incongruent purposes, distorted legislative priorities, and dysfunctional infrastructure architecture being imposed on US society which are based on theories favouring business groups and concurrent paralysis of 'third sector' leadership institutions. Presents alternative possibilities for enhanced collaboration between members of the research and education community and for securing participative governance of the process of decision making that can foster genuine social betterment in the information age

- Abstract
- Considers the practical aspects of creating and searching databases containing very large collections (1 million itms or more) of images. Notes that picture collections of this type and size pose new and unprecendented problems of access and management, not only on the technical and visual levels but also in terms of language and effective social communications. Explains the manner in which these problems are interlinked and makes suggestions as to how some of them may be overcome

- Abstract
- Discusses how we can ensure that the benefits of information technology are distributed equitably and can be used by people to shape their lives. Examines some ethical aspects of the intersections between information technology and technologies of the self, as analyzed by some leading thinkers. The analyzes show that information technology shares the ambiguities of all technological products. The mutual dependency between moral rules and technologies of the self with regard to the social impact of information technology is also demonstrated

- Abstract
- Recent research on the social and cultural aspects of systems development work has focused on the work of professional software and systems designers. A complementary approach is to look at the work of end users as systems developers, whose informal systems design work is frequently ignored or undervalued in organizations and by IS researchers. This case study, of an application to facilitate dispatch work in a large organization, describes a history of collaboration and conflict between IS professionals and end users as systems designers

- Abstract
- This paper presents an evolving framework for human information behaviour, including information exploration, seeking, filtering, use and dissemination. It is based on empirical studies of human information behaviour in a variety of settings (Iivonen & Sonnenwald, 1998; Sonnenwald, 1993, 1995, 1996) and theories from a variety of research traditions, including information science, communication, sociology and psychology that inform our understanding of human information behaviour. I begin formulating the framework by discussing fundamental concepts, such as context, situation and social networks. Building on these concepts, I propose a series of propositions that strive to elucidate the framework. Key ideas in the framework include the introduction of the role of social networks in information exploration, and the concept of an `information horizon' in which we can act to explore information.

- Abstract
- Addresses the identity politics of modern communication and information technologies. These technologies are not mere hardware, causally related to society through their effects on individual subjects. They embody social relations of domination and dependence, especially in their construction of specific forms of human subjectivity. Database constructed identites are postmodern in character: unstable, shifting and subject to the control of information processing software. The political implications of these identity construction systems are explored. The post-marxist political debate about the postmodern character of the subjects who participate in the social relations configured by the new communication and information technologies presents the most urgent issues for the possibilities of intellectual activism in the service of a democratic politics of information. Makes 6 recommendations for political work in information science

- Abstract
- The paper presents a coword-analysis-based system called SDOC which is able to pupport the intellectual work of an end-user who is searching for information in a bibliographic database. This is done by presenting its thematical structure as a map of keyword clusters (themes) on a graphical user interface. These mapping facilities are demonstrated on the basis of the research field Social History given by a set of documents from the social science literature database SOLIS. Besides the traditional way of analysing a coword map as a strategic diagram, the notion of cluster relationships analysis is introduced which provides an adequate interpretation of links between themes

- Abstract
- The cornerstone of the British human-centred tradition lies in the notions of human machine symbiosis and socially useful technology. The contemporary tradition has its roots in the LUCAS PLAN of the 1970s and has been shaped by a number of European social and technological movements in Scandinavia, Germany, France, Ireland and Italy. The emergence of the information society places the human-centred debate in wider socio-economic and cultural contexts. Explores the shaping of the European dimension of the human-centred tradition and proposes a research agenda for social innovation for inclusive information society

- Abstract
- As a general medical journal, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) contains a wide range of subject matter, and many types of information need to be incorporated in its semi-annual index, Index Medicus vocabulary can be used for clinical articles, but non-clinical matter presents problems of soft language. A weekly publication, the BMJ runs to about 1.600 pages a volume; so succint indexing is important, as is keeping to schedule. The number of authors and the vagueness of the journal users present particular problems that can be ameliorated by the design of the index. Medicine is a useful adjunct for subject access. Both the journal and the index have changed during a decade in which social and political aspects of medicine have assumed greater importance
