初遇陈思同志是去年九月在北京大学召开的中国第三届中青年图书馆学情报学学术讨论会上。 起初,我只知道他是以“工人身份”参加这次学术会议的。但他所做的大会发言却表明,他一直在从事情报学理论研究,对学科理论现状知之甚详,且颇有心得。他说,图书馆学情报学的理论严重地落后于社会实践,情报学研究方法跟不上时代的步伐,面对学科理论和实践两方面所遇到的问题显得无能为力;情报学理论作者似乎与社会的情报实践相隔绝;只简单地要求社会重视图书馆事业,健全立法,增加投资是不切合实际 The first encounter Comrade Chen Si was held in Peking University in September last year, the third session of China Youth Library and Information Science Symposium. At first, I only knew that he was attending the conference as a “worker.” However, his speeches at the General Assembly made it clear that he has been engaged in the study of informatics theory and knows and has very much felt about the status quo of academic disciplines. He said that the theory of library science and information science has lagged far behind social practice and that information science research methods can not keep up with the times and can not do anything in the face of both theoretical and practical disciplines. The practice of intelligence in society is isolated; it is unrealistic to simply ask the community to attach importance to the cause of libraries, improve legislation and increase investment
