Abstract

The role of the psychology and sociology of information is discussed in the five main interdisciplinary areas of library and information science: information services management, information systems engineering, information retrieval, information structure and dynamics, and information science theory. In recent years, after the impact of technological change has been progressively accommodated, psychological and sociological perspectives are assuming a growing importance in our discipline.
