What is Information Science? What does a person do as an
Information Scientist? The yearning for replies to these queries so
far is unabated. Meanwhile those who have dedicated their interest
to information ponder the possible answers and issues. It is not
surprising to realize that man has always been interested in
information - in producing it, in using it, in preserving it. But
the past two or three decades have added new dimensions and new
emphases in information studies. With the increase in the
production and availability of knowledge, the need to understand
more fully how to use it effectively has gathered greater momentum.
During the same period the nature and incidence of crisis situ
ations - whether public or private - has demanded greater depend
ence on timely delivery of data to make decisions and undertake
action. Moreover, there has been a harvest of vast and significant
technological developments to accompany these changes in social and
individual states. Information has gathered and continues to gather
growing importance in the lives of individuals as well as nations."
