Questions from Week 1 Readings
During this week's reading, Borgman states that "computer science researchers sometimes counter that LIS researchers are bound by a narrow paradigm and pay insufficient attention to computer science's accomplishments."
I would really like Borgman to describe in detail which specific accomplishments computer science has contributed. I would like to ask whether those accomplishments relate directly to perennial problems in librarianship, like findability and interoperability.
Specifically, one great problem which I perceive in librarianship is that, for a specific discipline of study, the hierarchy of secondary materials and specialized nomenclature can be extremely distinct or similar to that of another discipline of study, thus resulting in confusion. Which CS accomplishments can help us resolve this problem?
