Abstract

This article presents the history of information science; considers various conceptions, controversies, and challenges with the field; identifies its sub-specialties; points out its relationship and overlap with library science and other disciplines; and gives a discourse analysis of its multidisciplinary aspects and prospects as an academic discipline and profession. This way, a broad view of the field, which serves as a useful clarification for researchers, is then provided.
