“…Some say that the current definition of LIS in explaining the ability of the librarian is silent. Recently an expert (Zins, 2007a) carried on a comprehensive Delphi study on the subject to reach an acceptable definition. Nevertheless he reached to the idea that IS is an ever changing discipline (Zins, 2006).…”

In this article the author argues that LIS has suffered from lack of theoretical foundation. Recently many experts have tried to find a theoretical basis for the subject. Nevertheless they are not satisfied yet and they have not achieved to a consensus. The author argues that it is because they stood on a wrong foot. Content analysis is the main approach to this paper. The author believes that there may be found a powerful theoretical basis for LIS through the retrieval of information and knowledge. The value of this argument is that LIS may obtain a good basis on subject, problems and principles. The author although has had a definition which is newly published (2008) now has changed his mind and proposed a new one. He argues that according to traditional teachings that every scientific discipline must bear a subject, objective and problems, with this new definition all are present and can be well justified.

“…Finally, and of most direct relevance, we should note the Delphi studies undertaken by Zins, carried out with a panel of information science scholars to try to find consensus on some of the foundational issues of the discipline [22,23,24,25]. Described as a Critical Delphi, this focuses on the participants' understanding of concepts, and of the interrelationships between these concepts.…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link Lyn RobinsonCentre for Information Science, City University London, London, EC1V 0HB, United Kingdom AbstractAs part of a wider study of the relevance of the principles and practices of the Slow Movement to the information disciplines and professions, a Delphi study was carried out with 17 researchers in information behaviour and practices. A novel variant of the Delphi technique, termed the Slow Delphi, was devised for this study. This is aimed at eliciting qualitative understanding of complex conceptual topics, where there are a variety of perspectives and positions to be considered. The results of the study show a variety of points of potential applicability of Slow principles in research into information behaviour and practices, and in information provision. These include: more explicit inclusion of a temporal dimension in information behaviour models; greater recognition of the importance of the tempo of information seeking; more critical consideration of speed and scale as factors in the information environment; and the potential for individuals to exercise greater control over their information environment.
