"This book argues that bibliography is the foundation of information science, an infrastructure with the power to address many of the most challenging issues in the field. Bibliographers establish what has been presented to us as records of what has been known, experienced, and desired, and they are responsible for assessing and safeguarding what has arrived in the present and for reproducing what has been deemed worthy to be made available elsewhere: the data of science, the expressions of culture, and the records of personal witness"--

Wayne de Fremery is Professor of Information Science and Entrepreneurship at Dominican University of California, where he also directs the Françoise O. Lepage Center for Global Innovation.
