Information work at the boundaries of science : linking library services to research practices

Abstract

Examines the information seeking practices and strategies used by interdisciplinary scientists as they work in 'boundaries' between disciplines. As researchers gather and disseminate information outside their core knowledge domains through personal networks, conferences and the literature, they interact with objects, methods, people and words. Much of their information work is devoted to probing and learning new subject areas and they often rely on intermediaries to help collect and translate materials from unfamiliar subjects. Libraries that wish to facilitate cross disciplinary enquiry will need to design information environments that support learning, provide tools that function as 'boundary objects' and offer intermediary services that assist in the transfer and translation of information across scientific communities
