Definition of information science
Information science is that discipline that investigates the properties and behavior of information, the forces governing the flow of information, and the means of processing information for optimum accessibility and usability.
It primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.
This includes the investigation of information representations in both natural and artificial systems, the use of codes for efficient message transmission, and the study of information processing devices and techniques such as computers and their programming systems.
It is an interdisciplinary science derived from and related to such fields as mathematics, logic, linguistics, psychology, computer technology, operations research, the graphic arts, communications, library science, management, and other similar fields. It has both a pure science component, which inquiries into the subject without regard to its application, and an applied science component, which develops services and products." (Borko, 1968, p.3The study of – the use of information, – its sources and development; – usually taken to refer to the role of scientific, industrial and specialized libraries and information units – in the handling and – dissemination of information. (Prytherch, 2005)
The systematic study and analysis of the – sources, – development, – collection, – organization, – dissemination, – evaluation, – use, and – management of information in all its forms, including the channels (formal and informal) and technology used in its communication. – –(Reitz, 2004) Definition of library science
The study of principles and practices of library care, and organization and administration of a library, and of its technical, informational, and reference services.
Library science as “a generic term for the study of libraries and information units, the role they play in society, their various component routines and processes, and their history and future development. (Harrods ‘Librarian’s Glossary)
Collection of reading material, its processing, organization and dissemination started with the advent of library. The knowledge and its implementation in respect of library may therefore be called library science.

Introduction to digital libraries - definitions, examples, concepts and trend...Olaf Janssen
This presentation gives an introduction to digital libraries.
It first explores different defintions of the phrase "Digital Library".
It then looks at 11 real life examples of digital library websites (slides 44-112), including Europeana, Google Books, Flickr the Commons, Delpher, Wikisource, The Memory of the Netherlands and Project Gutenberg. Each of these DLs is assessed against five different criteria (concepts, properties)
- Content/User experience
- Cultural heritage domain (libraries, archives, museums, AV-institutions)
- Controlled / run by
- Content providing parties
- User involvement
Many references are made to Web2.0-concepts from Tim O'Reilly's article http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
From these 11x5 = 55 datapoints 6 trend plots are drawn (slides 116-166) to show "what is hot" and "what is not" in the current DL-landscape. Key slide summarizing this = no 168
Finally, some strategies for content & brand distribution of DLs are being discussed (SEO, Wikipedia, social & ego networks) , as well as some financial trends in DLs
This presentation was given by Olaf Janssen (National Library of the Netherlands - KB) as a lecture for students of the master's course "The Library" at Leiden University, most recently on 3-11-2016.

Sustaining our common values: the pressures at play and to comeCILIP
David McMenemy's (Lecturer and Course Director, University of Strathclyde) presentation to the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17
The presentation provides an overview of some of the key challenges the profession is facing and will continue to face in the modern era that confront our ethical values. With myriad challenges including protecting privacy and freedom of access to information, and the growing use of volunteers and philanthropy in service delivery, the profession will increasingly face calls to clearly address what it stands for in some key policy areas. The presentation will consider the nature of these challenges, and consider some of the potential solutions.
Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...lisld
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.
Libraries are about enabling people in our communities to learn, unlearn, and relearn. This workshop has a focus on the library as a strategic learning institution that makes the community smarter. Learn more about 23 mobile things and how you can build your own mobile learning experience for staff and customers or members. Take part in a discussion about how we frame the library as an important way to make the community smarter, and find out more about current trends in learning that affect our libraries and the way we enact with people who want to learn.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The Values of librarianship
Values are essential to the
success and future of
librarianship: they highlight what
is "important and worthy in the
long run," and help to define our
profession. In a literature review
on professional values in LIS,
Lee Finks argues that these
values fall into four categories:
3. Professional values are inherent in librarianship
and include recognizing the importance of
service and stewardship; maintaining
philosophical values that reflect wisdom, truth,
and neutrality; preserving democratic values; and
being passionate about reading and books.
General values are "commonly shared by
normal, healthy people, whatever their field."
Librarians' work, social, and satisfaction values
express a commitment to lifelong learning, the
importance of tolerance and cooperation, and the
need to feel accepted.
Personal values specifically belong to library
workers and include humanistic, idealistic,
conservative, and aesthetic values.
Rival values threaten the mission of libraries with
bureaucratic, anti-intellectual, and nihilistic ideas.
Librarians must have faith in the profession's
ability to do good.
4. Defining professional values
In 1999, the ALA formed a task force to "to clarify the
core values (credo) of the profession". This task
force believed "that without common values, we
are not a profession," and proposed the following
definition of common goals for our field:
Connection of people to ideas
Assurance of free and open access to recorded
knowledge, information and creative works
Commitment to literacy and learning
Respect for the individuality and the diversity of all
peoples
Freedom for all people to form, to hold, and to
express their own beliefs
Preservation of the human record
Excellence in professional service to our
communities
Formation of partnerships to advance these values
5. Despite the work of this task force, the
ALA did not adopt a Core Value
Statement until June 2004. This
statement represented a compromise
between the task force and its critics,
and took its 11 core values from ALA
policies that were already in effect.
While the task force's document
positioned these values in relation to
our profession (for example, our
profession must provide "assurance"
that access to recorded knowledge is
free and open), the official ALA policy
simply lists the values.
6. The ALA's wording also leaves its list open to
other values as well, and lists these
as examples of core values:
Access - All information resources that are provided directly or
indirectly by the library, regardless of technology, format, or methods
of delivery, should be readily, equally, and equitably accessible to all
library users.
Confidentiality/privacy - Protecting user privacy and confidentiality is
necessary for intellectual freedom and fundamental to the ethics and
practice of librarianship.
Democracy - A democracy presupposes an informed citizenry. The
First Amendment mandates the right of all persons to free
expression, and the corollary right to receive the constitutionally
protected expression of others. The publicly supported library
provides free and equal access to information for all people of the
community the library serves.
Diversity - We value our nation's diversity and strive to reflect that
diversity by providing a full spectrum of resources and services to
the communities we serve.
Education and lifelong learning - ALA promotes the creation,
maintenance, and enhancement of a learning society, encouraging
its members to work with educators, government officials, and
organizations in coalitions to initiate and support comprehensive
efforts to ensure that school, public, academic, and special libraries
in every community cooperate to provide lifelong learning services to
7. Intellectual freedom - We uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and
resist all efforts to censor library resources.
Preservation - ALA reaffirms the following fundamental values of libraries in
the context of discussing outsourcing and privatization of library services.
These values include that libraries are an essential public good and are
fundamental institutions in democratic societies.
The Public good - The Association supports the preservation of information
published in all media and formats. The association affirms that the
preservation of information resources is central to libraries and librarianship.
Professionalism - The American Library Association supports the provision of
library services by professionally qualified personnel who have been
educated in graduate programs within institutions of higher education. It is of
vital importance that there be professional education available to meet the
social needs and goals of library services.
Service - We provide the highest level of service to all library users ...We
strive for excellence in the profession by maintaining and enhancing our own
knowledge and skills, by encouraging the professional development of co-
workers, and by fostering the aspirations of potential members of the
profession.
Social responsibility - ALA recognizes its broad social responsibilities. The
broad social responsibilities of the American Library Association are defined
in terms of the contribution that librarianship can make in ameliorating or
solving the critical problems of society; support for efforts to help inform and
educate the people of the United States on these problems and to encourage
them to examine the many views on and the facts regarding each problem;
and the willingness of ALA to take a position on current critical issues with the
8. PHILOSOPHY OF
LIBRARIANSHIP
Why is the Librarian having no philosophy?
The experts created varied reasons why this
particular profession doesn’t have its own
philosophy:
Allegedly, the librarians are very much occupied
in their works that deprive them to devote ample
time in analyzing himself and his profession.
The heavy responsibility he encounters in his
work reduces his time in deep thinking or in
philosophical meditation about the significance of
his work.
The librarian seems to be solute in the simplicity
of practical outlook: his devotion to duty and the
quest for solution or enhancement to every
technical work is seemingly enough for his
9. ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A
PHILOSOPHY
To give systematic organization of the
general concept.
To be able to examine the complex
nature of librarianship.
To know vividly the meaning of our
goals.
To solve practical problems.
To become articulate in valuable future
issues.
10. According to Foskett “one of the
advantages of having philosophy is to
acknowledge librarianship as a
profession”.
Philosophy serves as guideline to the
goals and objectives of librarianship.
According to J. P. Danton some points
that comprises the advantages that
can be used by the professionals
prompted by the establishment of a
philosophy these can be stated briefly
as:
11. The acquisition of a specific and known stand for the library
for the social order and if there is not distant, of a new social
order, the foundation and recognition of the library as an
important, creative and an educating force to improve
civilization.
The acceptance of library science is gradually taking place.
The acceptance according to the needs of time and current
immediate needs.
The giving of technical meaning and mechanical strategies
the progress of library science certainly contributes to the
achievement of orderly scientific structure for practical
methods.
Another advantage that can be gained from professional
philosophy is the certainty of a directed work brought by
knowledge or understanding of a goal.
The goodness affected by knowledge and the ways of
separating or identifying the myriad responsibilities and work
of the varied types of library employees.
We can rely on the birth of the unified professional spirit - this
means the reorganization or acceptance of a definite stand of
12. Five laws of S.R. (Shiyali
Ramamrita) Ranganathan
Books are for use
Every book its reader
Every reader his book
Save the time of the reader
The library is a growing
organism
13. Michael Gorman respectfully adjusted
Ranganathan's laws to better fit the
future needs and practices of libraries.
Gorman's revised laws are:
Libraries serve humanity- They should
serve the individual, community and
society to a higher quality. When making
decisions, librarians should consider how
the change will better serve humanity.
Respect all forms by which knowledge is
communicated- If there is a new means
of communication of knowledge, and it is
a better carrier, utilize it.
14. Use technology intelligently to enhance
service- Technology needs to be
integrated so that it is used intelligently in
a cost-effective and beneficial way.
Protect free access to knowledge- The
library is central to freedom. It needs to
preserve all records so none are lost,
and should be transmitted to all.
Honor the past and create the future-
Libraries need to combine the past and
future in a rational manner. Not clinging
to the past but looking forward for the
better.
15. Rich Gause’s Philosophy
of Librarianship
Know your Collection
Do more than just focus on your assigned subject area;
learn something about the whole library. Know its
strengths. Know its weaknesses. Know its hidden
treasures. The practice of librarianship is neither abstract
concepts nor Boolean operators. Some fresh librarians never
seem to go near the print resources and some experienced
librarians still shy away from newfangled electronic
resources. Don’t fall into either trap. Blow the dust off the old
tomes, power up the microform reader, or pull the really skinny
books off the shelf to see how much can be hidden inside 20-60
pages. Explore circulating books, journals, audiovisual items,
maps, special collections, file cabinets, and other nooks and
crannies. Look at new resources that are acquired with an eye
towards what they add to the current mix. Browse through the
reshelving bins to get a sense of what your patrons are actually
using. It is not possible for anyone to know every detail about
every resource in any medium-sized or larger library. But one of
the major values of having librarians in the library is the
guidance brought to the research process.
16. •Know your Colleagues
Again, no single person can know everything, but a
team of librarians can almost always resolve the most
baffling of questions. Get to know the backgrounds and
interests of your colleagues. What are their
specialties? What flavors do they add to the soup? If
you have to turn a question over to a specialist
colleague, follow up later to learn what they used. The
librarian with the brand new degree has probably had
greater opportunity to read about the latest trends in the
field. New colleagues can provide a fresh eye to
critically analyze the way things have always been
done. Be conversant with the processes of other
specialties. Talk with these colleagues so that you
understand the broader ramifications of seemingly small
decisions. Acknowledge the vital roles played by the
other individuals working in the library: computer
technicians, programmers, clerks, shelvers,
administrators, custodians, student assistants, library
technical assistants, etc.
17. •Know your Profession
Explore the history of language, writing, books,
libraries, computers, and everything else that
relates to storing and transferring
information. Think about how Ranganathan's Five
Laws of Library Science apply in the modern library
setting. Internalize the ideals of intellectual freedom
and confidentiality. Spend time pondering issues
such as literacy, censorship, copyright, equity of
access and privacy. Recognize how the social and
political climates of your institution or community
may influence decisions. Examine your principles
and develop skills to educate others. Avoid
isolating yourself within your specialty. Make a
point of learning about other types and sizes of
libraries: public, academic, school, prison,
corporate, law, medical, etc. Network with a wide
variety of individuals from all walks of life.
18. •Share your Knowledge
The point of learning everything is to share it with
others. Don't bottle it up inside and don't be miserly
when sharing it. There is no danger of making yourself
dispensable. There will always be new learners and
new things for you yourself to learn. Teach others who
express an interest in learning how to find information
on their own, and avoid overwhelming the person who
just wants a few facts. Create finding aids, conduct
training sessions, or write articles and books. Engage
in discussions face-to-face and through electronic
means. Do more than just attend conferences and
workshops -- be an active participant and take on
responsibilities within your professional
associations. Get involved in your local community
outside the library. Contribute to the profession in
whatever ways suit you. The aggregate value of
thousands of librarians all over the world comes when
they each know their local collections well and then
share that knowledge.
19. ”The joys of librarianship
come from the endless
opportunities
to learn new things and to teach
others.
Be passionate about whatever
you do.”
