Question #4A
Michael Buckland has asserted that providing access to information is the central and defining principle of library and information science. Demonstrate that you understand this central feature of the field by identifying three major components, or facets, of the concept "access to information" and describe their significance to the provision of access to information. I wonder if this question is referring to Buckland's writings on information-as-process, information-as-knowledge, and information-as-thing. Not whether these are the "facets" referred to.
