RAMIREZ IBARRA, Ivalú. Three global perspectives in Library and Information Science. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2016, n.34, pp.79-92. ISSN 1851-1740.
Three perspectives of Library and Information Science (LIS) are discussed: The first one is about the increasingly nearness between the point of view of the librarian and of the user about their information needs and information-seeking strategies; the second perspective points out on the Latin American position regarding more developed countries; the third one, states LIS needs to permanently ask itself about its ontological and epistemological foundations. The perspectives are examined taking into account its global aspects, because of the characteristics of the dynamics of the relations between individuals and societies, as that is what the current context requires.
