Articulating the Unarticulated Element of the Information Science Paradigm

This article focuses on the traditional areas of public, school, and academic libraries that have generally declined in schools of library science, even though the labor force in these sectors has remained relatively stable. Information technology has altered the structures and influenced the design of academic programs of information studies and in doing so, enhanced their liaisons with schools of education, management science, communications, computer science, and applied science. Like an advanced ecosystem, both overlap and diversification of students in information studies has increased.
