Abstract
To mark the 75th anniversary of ASIS&T this panel
addresses the nature and recent history of the field of
information science. It uses as a springboard The Study of
Information: Interdisciplinary Messages, a collection of
writings edited by economist Fritz Machlup and Una
Mansfield (1983). More than a quarter of a century ago, The
Study of Information (for short) presented the mandates of
nine research specialties centered on information, namely:
cognitive science, informatics, artificial intelligence,
linguistics, library and information science, cybernetics,
information theory, and systems theory. By illuminating the
concerns, similarities, and differences of these related
domains the book established one of the first and most lucid
geographies of information as an interdisciplinary academic
enterprise. In its day, reviewers described The Study of
Information as “a quite remarkable overview” (Hayes,
1985), “an extraordinary volume” (Barnes, 1985), and “an
historically significant book” (Harmon, 1987).
