Abstrakt

Cel/teza: Celem artykułu jest omówienie podobieństw i różnic pomiędzy epistemologią nauki o in­formacji i humanistyki cyfrowej w świetle zmian zachodzących w tej pierwszej.

Koncepcja/metody badań: Przeanalizowano i porównano szereg punktów widzenia wyróżnionych w literaturze przedmiotu, dotyczących epistemologii dwóch omawianych dziedzin.

Wyniki i wnioski: Pomimo różnic w ich dziedzinowych korzeniach, nauka o informacji i humanistyka cyfrowa mają ze sobą wiele wspólnego, a analiza ich osiągnięć i braków może przynieść znaczące korzyści dla obu dziedzin.

Ograniczenia badań: Obie epistemologie znajdują się w stadium formowania, można zatem spo­rządzić jedynie zarys ich obecnego kształtu.

Wartość poznawcza: Artykuł stanowi uzupełnienie dotychczasowej wiedzy w zakresie epistemologii nauki o informacji, humanistyki cyfrowej oraz łączących je relacji.

Słowa kluczowe

Humanistyka cyfrowa; Epistemologia; Bibliotekoznawstwo i nauka o informacji
