Functional Analysis and Library Science
نویسنده
چکیده
Functional analysis is a tool with significant positive implications for library research because of: (1) its facility for investigating the social system of which the librar.y is an integral part; and (2) its direction towards heuristic considerations and metaphysical theory long neglected in library science. The sociological approach rather than the mechanistic or mathematical approach to functionalism should be adopted by library researchers because of its ability to develop functional relationships rather than deterministic, causal relationships.
