A documentary-information approach in the context of post-non-classical methodology of knowledge in bibliographic and library sciences

Abstract

The basis of a documentary-information approach in the post-non-classical library and bibliographic sciences is the documentary information theory, as well as presentation of library and bibliographic institutions and services as a united complex self-developing system. The article emphasizes studying the institutional information-documentary process, in the structure of which syntactic, semantic and pragmatic components are singled out. It underlines that library-bibliographical institutions implement a semantic component aimed maintaining the semantic symmetry, and a pragmatic one connected with information updating due to bibliographic activity, all these permits to consider library-bibliographical documents and information as a resource. It is noted, that this approach makes it possible, firstly, to consider complementary informational-documentation aspects of library-bibliographic activities (to refuse the documentary and information paradigms opposition), and secondly, to justify the status of library-bibliographic institutions as organizers rather than the documentary-information process intermediaries. The approach methodological potential is analyzed and shown.
