H-INFO includes
* the history and foundations of library and information
sciences;
* the history of libraries, archives, document-based
cultural
repositories, and other information institutions;
* the foundations and history of print culture; and
* reading and reception histories.
H-INFO is an arena in which the multiple interests of
librarian scholars, library historians, book historians,
cultural
historians,
archivists, and information scientists can converge and,
ideally, engage
and
enrich a broader community of discourse.
It is a revival of the H-LIS network which ran on H-Net from
1997-2000,
covering the interdisciplinary study of libraries and
information broadly
construed to include literacy and reading, print culture,
libraries and
archives, computerization and automation, information
retrieval and
documentation, and electronic information and communication.
H-INFO services include general dialogue, sharing of
references,
syllabi, and other materials, reviewing of relevant books,
and journals.
Like all H-Net lists, H-INFO is moderated to edit out
material that,
in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves
technical
matters (such as subscription management requests), is
inflammatory, or
violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet
etiquette. H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial
practices is
Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:
http://www.h-net.org/about/by-laws.php
H-INFO is currently edited by Betsy V. Martens
University of Oklahoma School of Library & Information
Studies and
Matthew
Gilmore.
