Sanna Talja, Kimmo Tuominen and Rei

Sanna Talja, Kimmo Tuominen and Reijo Savolainen’s paper “‘Isms’ in information
science: constructivism, collectivism and constructionism” is somewhat different from
the rest of the papers in this issue. The focus is here more on the identification,
presentation and evaluation of what the authors see as three main approaches in LIS
today than it is a description of a classical external position and a discussion of its
reception and importance for LIS.
