The Informationist

A Debate

&
Pages 1-15 | Published online: 08 Sep 2008
 

Abstract

In this article, the authors review the informationist concept with special reference to its implication for hospital librarians. One author (Kronenfeld) has been skeptical about the concept and the lack of definition of the problem it is meant to answer. The other author (Cunningham) is committed to the potential of the informationist concept, having served on MLA's ad hoc committee on the Informationist. After a brief review of MLA's work on this issue, the authors will use a point-counterpoint format to further examine the informationist concept and where we (hospital librarians and MLA) are with the concept in 2003.
