The term “encyclopedia” is derived from the Greek words “circle” and “learning”, and since antiquity compilers of encyclopedias have attempted to offer a synthesis of what is known in addition to presenting entries on individual topics. This tradition continues even in specialized encyclopedias whose editors frame their work within the theoretical conceptualizations of their respective disciplines. Likewise editors of library and information science encyclopedias have often laid out a broad theoretical framework to guide their selection of what to include, and contributors have expressed their own theoretical perspectives through emphasis on or marginalization of topics within entries. For example, although all LIS encyclopedias have had to give some attention to the library as a place, they have each treated these issues in a different way as a result of theoretical considerations or as a result of a more laissez-faire attitude of the editors, thus allowing individual authors to express their own perspectives.
