One might trace Information Science to the earliest libraries that provided access to royal information collections, such as those harbouring the clay tablets of the 7th century Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Over many subsequent centuries libraries became increasingly sophisticated, generating the kinds of access technologies that occupy Information Science, today. Or, a particularly well-developed historical narrative locates the roots of Information Science in the European Documentation movement, spear-headed by the Belgian lawyer and bibliographer, Paul Otlet (Rayward, 1997). Otlet and his followers generated a vision of a global information society and invented foundational information technologies of our age, such as the library card catalog. Finally, Information Science may be seen as emerging in mid-1950s North American universities, where it coalesced alongside several theoretical innovations centered on the patterns underlying modernity (Bates, 1999). In this view, cybernetics and game theory are Information Science’s siblings. The video comes to a quick but unequivocal conclusion that there are multiple historical narratives for Information Science; viewers can probably imagine others, too.
