How to win the pentathlon—unifying theories of information science

Donald J. Hillman

American Documentation, 1969, vol. 20, issue 4, 335-336

Abstract: Curriculum development should aim at unifying the separate components in information science rather than standardizing the subject matter. The techniques that were applied to attack systems‐design problems have contributed towards the development of information retrieval theory. Unification of the theoretical activities within a unified framework should be pursued. Terminology reflects theory, so that standardization of terminology would be useful because it contributes toward regulating the theory it expresses.
