Beyond the Oedipus Age: Professionalism and Information.
Day, Ron
Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v38 n1 p54-63 Win 1997
Examines assumptions about knowledge, professionalism, and professionals that have their basis in the 19th century, and then asks how these assumptions might be changed by the shifting importance of information in our age. Suggests that pure knowledge has a problematic structure in the history of library and information studies. (Author/LRW)
