Library and Information Science and Digital Humanities: Two Disciplines, Joint Future?

The relationship between the disciplines of library and information science
and of digital humanities is analysed, in terms of common topics, issues and
perspectives. A model to integrate the two, based on the components of the
communication chain of recorded information is proposed. It is suggested
that a partial integration of the disciplines, to the extent that their concerns
are reflected by this model, would be positive for the future of both.
