2004SpringQ4

Question #4
B. C. (Bertram) Brookes proclaimed that the basis of librarianship is bibliographic. Michael Gorman has insisted that bibliographic control is the heart of the information professions. Michael Buckland has asserted that access to information is the central and defining principle of library and information science. In a sense, all three proclamations are true. Demonstrate that you understand the central features of the field. Then, identify three major components, or facets, of the concept “access to information” and describe their significance to the provision of access to information.
