Abstract:

It is presented a brief review on the definition, evolution and development of three disciplinary areas in which librarians, documentalists and information scientists are deeply interested and involved. Starting from a survey by Jesse H. Shera published in 1968, which offers the state of art of these three closely related disciplines, the authors try to follow the further attempts to define them. They also try to identify, by tracking the literature, the changes occurred in the succeeding years, taking into due consideration also the discussions developed among Italian librarians and documentalists. The sections of the paper examine the nature of librarianship as a science and its interactions with documentation and information science together with the debates over the existence, evolution and development of these areas, which have changed substantially the information infrastructures and the profession.
