Dimensions of faculty public service: a policy science approach to questions of information provision

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Research is accepted as a primary activity of library and information science faculties but the link between research and public policy is underdeveloped. In this light association activity largely fails to fulfill public service responsibility. The need for a qualitatively different approach to faculty public service along the lines of the policy sciences is proposed and barriers that may affect realization of this approach are identified. Escalating concerns that cluster around information policy are seen as catalysts for the identification of policy-relevant public service as a replacement for aimless professional association
