Dear FIS Colleagues,
The leisure time of vacations is over and it would be time to reassume
the list exchanges. There were several interesting sessions which had
been planned for this new course, but unfortunately none of them seems
possible in a short term. In order that these "dry" months --even
previous to the IS4SI conference-- come to an end, let me request the
involvement of FIS parties, either volunteering for session chairs or
suggesting interesting new themes & parties for future sessions. At the
time being my personal capability to produce new sessions seems rather
low...
Anyhow, as a means to break the ice of this new course I have revisited
some notes I took during a very fertile round table coordinated by Yixin
Zhong on "ecologies of knowledge" in the Gotheborg IS4SI meeting. I have
realized that with some tweaking a short list of, say "10 principles for
information science", was emerging. Could this rather idiosyncratic
stuff be tolerable for the high diversity of points of view in FIS?
Maybe not. But at least I hope it will support some lively discussion.
In order to have some operativity, I will post the principles this
Friday, and then the comments will fly or not... Well, I had initially
thought that each principle could have an initial commentator (just
based on my terribly subjective views). To list them: Marcin (for princ.
1), Jerry (2), Gordana (3), Terry (4), Stan (5), Soeren (6), Tozzi (7),
Yixin (8), Loet (9), Howard (10). Probably this is rather complex, so
after some rounds of general comments on the whole scheme we will see
whether this detailed analysis can be performed or not.
Best wishes to all,
--Pedro
