Abstract
This open textbook for students in core Library and Information Science (LIS) courses introduces students to selected historical and contemporary issues in LIS. Centered on the question, “What is a library?,” the text includes explorations of norms of practice in libraries, information gathering, and professional values. This text offers students – both those who currently work in libraries and those who bring other experiences to their professional education – a foundational exploration of theoretical and ethical issues related to the field.
