Foucault's toolbox: use of Foucault's writings in LIS journal literature, 1990–2016

What is it about?

Michel Foucault is among the most cited writers in many academic fields, including Library and Information Science (LIS). Yet a review of a quarter century's worth of LIS journal literature indicates that such citations are mostly brief and in passing, although covering a very wide range of topics. Most more in-depth discussions of Foucault's ideas in LIS journal articles appear to have been relatively overlooked by other LIS scholars.
