Martens, Betsy Van der Veer2015-05-272016-03-302015-05-272016-03-302015-05http://hdl.handle.net/11244/14640This introduction to Luciano Floridi’s philosophy of information (PI) provides a short overview of Floridi’s work and its reception by the library and information studies (LIS) community, brief definitions of some important PI concepts, and illustrations of Floridi’s three suggested applications of PI to library and information studies. It suggests that LIS may just be as important to PI as PI is to LIS in terms of deepening our mutual understanding of information ontologies, the dynamics of informational domains, and the variety of evolving relationships among information organisms and information objects.© 2015 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.Information Science.Library Science.Philosophy.Preprint10.1353/lib.2015.0006
