Although the information age and information society have been marked by it, information science has not been added to the research classification scheme of the Slovenian Research Agency (Agencija za raziskovalno dejavnost Republike Slovenije, ARRS) and of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (Statistični urad Republike Slovenije, SURS). Similarly, no suitable title for the professional group dealing with information science can be found in the valid index of occupational titles and in the standard classification of occupations in Slovenia. The history of information science started 100 years ago. From the end of the 19th century to the end of the first half of the 20th century, it developed under the name documentation, and from then on it has been continuously developing under the name information science. Since the 1990s, the historiography of information science has been rapidly developing as well. In a large number of countries nowadays, information science is a universal (implemented everywhere in the developed world), cumulative (developing) science with organised professional groups. Information science should therefore be added to the research classification scheme of the Slovenian Research Agency and of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia, and the title of informatologist should be included in the index of occupational titles and in the standard classification of occupations as soon as possible.

This article provides an overview of computer-based catalogue systems designed for use by library clients, seeing present day discovery systems on the same trajectory as the older online public access catalogues (OPACs) which they are gradually replacing, both in technical development and their approach to client use scenarios. It traces the history of the OPAC/discovery system from its origins in the library automation of the 1960s through to the present and discusses the main technical standards which have formed its development.
Wisdom is one of many human mental capabilities. Mental vitality is stereotypically associated with youth and mental decline with old age. However, also aging is a price of wisdom. The connection between neurological decline (senility, dementias) and wisdom development during aging is referred to as the paradox of wisdom.
The emergence of information and technology anthropology, and cyborg anthropology at this point runs along a side route.

The first part of the article focuses on the semiotic perspective of information theory, the second part, however, is based on the mathematical model of epidemiology or on the notion that information spreads like an infectious disease. This opens up a broad field of information and communication ecology.

It also points out that these libraries do not keep pace with the development of library and information activities in Serbia and that among their users, similar to those in public libraries in cities, there is only a small number of farmers.
Information is part of the data-information-knowledge-wisdom (DIKW) "spectrum". In optics, "spectrum" is a complete range of rainbow colours into which white light is separated when it passes through a glass prism. Based on conclusions different sciences have come to that relate to data, information, knowledge and understanding of meaning, as well as to memory, intelligence, consciousness and wisdom, a renewed theory of information is needed.
