Per un nuovo glossario di biblioteconomia e di scienza dell’informazione

Abstract

In this paper we propose the development of a new Italian glossary of Librarianship and Information Science. Based on some current terminological works in the area of Italian linguistics and considering the state of the art of important European initiatives,
this type of glossary intends to share the expertise of specialists coming from different contexts (universities, research centres, scientific and professional associations, libraries), maximizing a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this work is to facilitate knowledge management and transfer both in the Italian and European context. For this purpose, some important elements have been considered such as the rapidity of the evolution in the field of Librarianship and Information Science; the comparison with the complex disciplinary sector of Aerospace; the role of the stakeholders and an innovative approach to the partnership as proposed by the “Triple Helix” model, with its emphasis on the crossing of elements from several sectors.
