Pierce Butler’s An Introduction to Library Science: a tract for our times?

A review aricle

Blaise Cronin

Indiana University, bcronin{at}indiana.edo

Considers the historic and contemporary import of Pierce Butler’s An Introduction to Library Science. Characterizes the content of each chapter and critically analyses the central theses. Relates Butler’s positivistic premises, assumptions and conclusions to the congeries of competing epistemological and ideological standpoints that defines current thinking in library and information science research.
