Coming of age in academe—Information science at 21

Joseph C. Donohue and N. E. Karioth

American Documentation, 1966, vol. 17, issue 3, 117-119

Abstract: The little tyke was conceived during the fleeting affair between that somewhat shabby and passive old maid, librarianship, and the rich playboy, science. The poor kid hasn't even been named yet; in fact most of us don't even know what he looks like. Still, they were all talking about him at the FID (International Federation for Documentation) Congress in October in Washington. Some of the family felt that he ought to be reared by his mother in her flat on the outskirts of Academe. The others said that his father could give him a better life, with prestige, wealth, and status, on the best street in town. They were already calling him by his father's name, hoping he would be known as “Information Science.” (1).
