A Critical Look at Information Science and Librarianship in a New Age: Constellation of Insanity

A Critical Look at Information Science and Librarianship in a New Age: Constellation of Insanity fosters a platform for information scientists to engage in reflection and contemplation regarding the profound questions of our era. By drawing insights from pioneers in the field whose contributions were once marginalized or, in some instances, overlooked within the realm of information science, chapter authors strive to re/center the field's focal point.

Chapter authors draw from a diverse array of frameworks including critical theory, deconstruction, queer theory, borderlands, among others. What sets this book apart is its direct confrontation of the status quo and aggressively re/claims intellectual space for "others". This is the only book to critique the entire discipline of Information Science from as many angles as possible in one volume and as far outside of the traditional organizations.
