The BSc DEGREE IN INFORMATION SCIENCE AT NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

Abstract

‘A peculiarity of the study of (Information Science) is its lack of demarcations: sooner or later the student of (Information Science) finds himself wandering into fields that are occupied by other sciences. The practical difficulty of drawing a dividing‐line between the legitimate scope of (Information Science) and that of other studies is so great that we are often told there is no science of (Information). This lack of definiteness adds a charm to the subject and is fertile in the production of new idea, for it is at the fringe of a science that originality has its scope.’
