H-INFO includes
the history and foundations of library and information
sciences;
the history of libraries, archives, document-based
cultural
repositories, and other information institutions;
the foundations and history of print culture; and
reading and reception histories.

H-INFO is an arena in which the multiple interests of librarian
scholars, library historians, book historians, cultural historians,
archivists, and information scientists can converge and, ideally,
engage and enrich a broader community of discourse.

It is a revival of the H-LIS network which ran on H-Net from
1997-2000, covering the interdisciplinary study of libraries and
information broadly construed to include literacy and reading,
print culture, libraries and archives, computerization and
automation, information retrieval and documentation, and electronic
information and communication.

H-INFO services include general dialogue, sharing of references,
syllabi, and other materials, reviewing of relevant books, and
journals.

Like all H-Net lists, H-INFO is moderated to edit out material that,
in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves
technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is
inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of
Internet etiquette. H-Net's procedure for resolving disputes
over list editorial practices is Article II, Section 2.20 of our
bylaws, located at:

http://www.h-net.org/about/by-laws.php

H-INFO is currently edited by Betsy V. Martens
University of Oklahoma School of Library & Information Studies and
Matthew Gilmore.
