―Segmented Professions: Further Considerations of Theory and Practice in LIS and Librarianship,‖ Andrew P. Carlin. Library

چکیده
In this paper I shall discuss these issues by exploring matters common to various disciplines. Using sociology as an example and as a resource to examine the nature of theorizing, I shall explore the connections listed above in the contexts of information and Library & Information Studies (LIS). In sociology, these forms of issues have produced a literature of self-examination as to the state and to the state-of-the-art of the discipline (Baehr and O'Brien, 1994; Clawson and Zussman, 1998; Stinchcombe, 1982).

Michel Foucault (1926–84) is a primary thinker informing the construction of a critical theory of library and information science (LIS), or librarianship. He is widely cited and is adapted in various ways that focus on LIS forms of power, discourse, and so on. Others have addressed Foucault’s topics, but he remains central.
